[Bug 1440292] Re: package update-notifier-common 0.119ubuntu8.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Steve Langasek]

The output in the dpkg log is:

All done, no errors.
All fonts downloaded and installed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 46, in create_or
_update_stampfile
    with open(file, 'w'):
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-
data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 251, in process_download_requests

This indicates that a system directory is missing from your system -
filesystem corruption, either due to a software error or something
you've done locally.

To correct this problem, you should run:

  sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads

and then retry the package update.
