Looks like the failure is because some of the Sourceforge mirrors are flaky, and when a mirror flakes out, SourceForge redirects clients to a HTML page with Javascript that makes it try again - which is of course no good for headless downloads.
I stuck a copy of the files onto GitHub pages, and threw together a PPA with a modified version of the package, that downloads from GitHub instead (https://code.launchpad.net/~james- pic/+archive/ubuntu/msttcorefonts). Can we come up with a long term solution that gets around the Sourceforce dependency? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371783 Title: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (utopic) fails to install/upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
