[Bug 1364879] [NEW] fails to deal with mscorefonts

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

Made a fresh Utopic installation from mini.iso (ext4, upstart used)

The system is updated/upgraded via synaptic, but update-notifier still pop up with a warning dialogbox begging to install mscorefonts, even if ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already in the place.
Following the dialogbox request i've made several times the download/re-install of mscorefonts (from that dialogbox), but it again ignore it and ask again & again on next sessions.

Running it from a terminal, i'm getting:

oem at u32:~$ sudo update-notifier
[sudo] password for oem: 

** (update-notifier:8668): WARNING **: not starting for system user
oem at u32:~$ update-notifier
