I took the Debian packages for Jessie (debian stable) from https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/download
which is version 3.6 and I installed it fine with "dpkg -i" on my Ubuntu 16.04 server. I can see the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
So we just need someone to port msttcorefonts v3.6 from Debian to
Ubuntu.

Title:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts
and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian
Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
As noted in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/45,
the current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the
font files in an incorrect network location. The consequence of this
is that the core fonts are never installed.
The Debian (upstream) version 3.6 of ttf-mscorefonts-installer
searches for the font files in the correct network location, and will
successfully install the core fonts.
This problem occurs with Ubuntu 16.04 as of July 2016. (And with
earlier versions, including current LTS.)
