Title:
  Selecting Restricted Extras from Budgie welcome screen -> Updates &
  Extras fails to install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package

Status in Ubuntu Budgie:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Version: Ubuntu Budgie 18.04

  After a fresh install, I noticed that when opting to install
  "Restricted Extras" from the "Getting Started -> Updates and Extras"
  tool that the Budgie Welcome application attempts to install two
  packages:

  1. ubuntu-restricted-extras
  2. ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  I determined this by looking at the /var/log/apt/history.log

  Start-Date: 2018-05-17  22:21:07
  Commandline: apt install --allow-unauthenticated -y ubuntu-restricted-extras ttf-mscorefonts-installer-
  Requested-By: robert (1000)
  Install: unrar:amd64 (1:5.5.8-1, automatic), libavcodec-extra:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2, automatic), libvo-amrwbenc0:amd64 (0.1.3-1, automatic), libavcodec-extra57:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2, automatic), ubuntu-restricted-extras:amd64 (66)
  Remove: libavcodec57:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2)
  End-Date: 2018-05-17  22:21:10

  I believe there might be a typo for the second package.  It's recorded
  as "ttf-mscorefonts-installer-" in the history.log, when the actual
  package name is "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (without the hyphen at the
  end).  The end result after selecting this option from the Budgie
  Welcome application is that the MS ttf fonts are NOT installed.

  To fix this, I manually install the MS ttf fonts by doing this:

  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  And the MS ttf installed fine without any issues.
