Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been away.
dpkg-reconfigure failed because it could not find
ttf-mscorefonts-installer so I downloaded the exe but I don't have wine
on that machine so it is not recognised as an extractable archive by the
archive manager. I transferred the exe to a windows machine and
confirmed that it was not corrupted. apt-get does not recognise
ttf-mscorefonts-installer as a valid package so I'll need some pointers
on how to get it.
I'm not sure why msfonts would be needed on a machine not running wine.
I do have wine on two other Ubuntu machines on a different network but
not the one producing this error.
The update manager has been continually failing so I've done an -update
followed by -upgrade via the terminal
Cheers
