Voyager 16.04 / Ubuntu/Xubuntu Home Directory Issue /Failure to Download Extra Data Files
 
I'm running Voyager which was created by a French Developer. Voyager was built from Ubuntu and Xubuntu 16.04.

Directories vanished yesterday during a backup and I don't know why the directories in the /home directory were moved to the trash.

2 external drives were used to back up the /home directory; a 1 TB Toshibia and a 500 GB WD. Most of the directories were copied over to the Toshibia and the remaining directories were copied over to the 500 GB WD. Using the Shift+Del keys I deleted some of the files in the /home directory that were duplicates so the Trash should not of been involved in that.

After the backup there were directories missing from the /home directory and they were in the Trash. When I tried to restore them the system complained that it didn't have enough room to copy over the files I wanted to add.I checked the Disk Utility and I had plenty of room on the HDD for the directories to be copied over.

Since restore didn't work from the Trash I copied the directories in the Trash and pasted them into the /home directory and it went fine. After getting tired of copying files over I selected restore and it didn't complain about not having enough room and restored the rest of the directories to /home.

Any idea what went wrong?
------------------------------------------------------
The other issue is (I think this is creating conflict with the /home directory and it's files because mttf's are installed) this window with:

Code:

Failure To Download Extra Data Files
Keeps opening. I found 2 solutions here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/85230...staller/857973

The msttf's are already installed.

Any idea which is 'the right' solution?

Will apt upgrade -f wreck havoc?

Any help is greatly appreciated:-
