E: The package ttf-mscorefonts-installer needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

When I try to use

sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

to reinstall it repeats the error

Package: ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Versions: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
Reverse Depends: gnumeric,ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Dependencies: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 - 
Provides: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 -
Reverse Provides: –

I have the multiverse repository enabled.

  • the command apt-cache showpkg ttf-mscorefonts-installer tells me the package can be found in the 'multiverse' repo. for my 16.04 box, so do you have multiverse enabled?
