This bug is still (again?) happening to me on 16.04. The ttf- mscorefonts-downloader repeatedly fails on the first file (andale32.exe). And this is obviously the 3.6 Debian version, because it reports multiple mirrors - so far it has been freefr.dl.sourceforge.net and vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net.
Both return the file OK when I access them through browser, so I suspect SourceForge might be checking cookies. As have been said in Bug #1371783, SourceForge has become extremely unreliable for automated downloads - I really think the files need to be hosted elsewhere. (IMHO, The best temporary fix would be James-pic's GitHub hosted version of the package https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/42 but the PPA doesn't work for xenial - I reached out to James-pic, I'll report back when/if it's available) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607535 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1607535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
