[Bug 1646737] [NEW] Annoying "processing..." mails

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi, 
I've installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which pulled in update-notifier. Although downloading ms core fonts should be a one-time-job, and although nothing happens after initial download, that damned update-notifier sends me a daily mail with 

/etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer: processing...
