Probably just very unstable mirroring. I downloaded the fonts with wget as per the original bug report (needed to restart wget once), and did
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer I gave the download directory as path inside the terminal-dialogue that appears. This solved the problem. Not really a problem of the package, then. Perhaps have the package retry some limited number of attempts, and only then give up? -- 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 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
