message 1

systemerror: e:i wasn't able locate file ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. might mean need manually fix package."
message 2
"a program problem detected..."
message 3
"sorry, program aptdaemon closed unexpectedly..."

parts '...' nothing useful you. please help, because hate have install ubuntu scratch again.

not sure if helps kind of error, might try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

or

sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a

(not sure of exact spelling right now).

helps broken down installations of package, if that's blocking further installs.
