I have install PlayonLinux a few days ago to experiment with Windows game.... but since then, this message keep popping up everytime my laptop boot up..

    Failure to download extra data files

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

The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

I already un-install PlayonLinux and this still appear on every boot up.

I have try all the solution listed on this post, from 4 years ago.

"Failure to download extra data files" after installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Yeah, the message still pop up.. So I hope someone can help me remove this annoying pop up.

Thanks.

PlayOnWindows will also install a few other programs, including ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which downloads and installs some fonts from Microsoft. It downloads the fonts from an unstable location, and is currently having trouble. If you wait a while, it will probably manage to install them, and then give you no more trouble. Alternatively, you can remove the Microsoft font installer thus:

apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

This will remove the program, and it will no longer attempt to install Microsoft fonts.
