After upgrading apt I still got the GUI prompt over and over, and
/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial was found empty.
However, I removed and installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer and while I didn't get any failed to fetch errors, and still got the:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 'FILE' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
The fonts installed without errors as per below. Hence, my root cause
issue seems to have been I didn't go through a remove/install cycle of
ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
