Not sure how general this observation is, but I can confirm that *.sourceforge.net is inaccessible (telnet, or ping) from my expressvpn servers. Disconnecting the vpn makes them available again. Note that all the 3.6 url's are blocked in this way.
Once i disconnected the vpn temporarily, the fonts installed as expected. Bottom line: sourceforge is unreliable. files need to be located elsewhere. -- 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
