Public bug reported: since a week or so the update-notfier is complaining that the download of additional files has failed:
# Hinweise zur Aktualisierung Herunterladen von zusätzlichen Datendateien schlug fehl Die folgenden Pakete benötigen nach der Installation das Herunterladen zusätzlicher Daten, welche aber nicht heruntergeladen oder bearbeitet werden konnten. ttf-mscorefonts-installer Das Herunterladen wird später erneut versucht, oder Sie versuchen es jetzt gleich nochmal. Das Ausführen dieses Befehls benötigt eine aktive Internetverbindung.
