Public bug reported:
I received the following notification:
----------
Data files for some packages could not be downloaded
The following packages requested additional data downloads after package
installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be
processed.
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
This is a permanent failure that leaves these packages unusable on your system. You may need to fix your Internet connection, then remove and reinstall the packages to fix this problem.
----------
This appears to be a long standing bug, a number of proposed workarounds are discussed in the following thread:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/153928/failure-to-download-extra-data-
files-after-installing-ttf-mscorefonts-installe
I attempted to correct the issue with the following command
----------
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Next, I tried removing the file arial32.exe from the partial directory, and issued the reinstall command again. I had slightly different, but similar results.
