Public bug reported: When ttf-mscorefonts-installer package installs, and after I accept the MS EULA, it fails to download files from downloads.sourceforge.net.
Here is the output of the commands that show the problem: $ dpkg -l ttf-mscorefonts-installer Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===========================-==================-==================-=========================================================== un ttf-mscorefonts-installer <none> <none> (no description available) $ sudo apt clean $ sudo apt-get -V install ttf-mscorefonts-installer Reading package lists...
