[Bug 1371783] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (utopic) fails to install/upgrade

Tue Dec 9 16:26:08 UTC 2014

I think the SourceForge servers are too smart for their own good. When I
did an HTTP 0.9 request (no protocol specified in the GET), I got an
HTML page saying the page didn't exist. When I did an HTTP 1.1 request
(below) I got a 'bad request' error. When I fetched it with wget I got
multiple redirects which eventually led to downloading the file.

$ telnet download.sourceforge.net 80

Title:
  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (utopic) fails to
  install/upgrade

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been trying to upgrade/update 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' for the
  past week, but the install/upgrade fails with  a 'andale32.exe Hash
  Sum mismatch" error:

  <SNIP>

  I expect it to complete the install/upgrade, but it constantly chokes
  on 'andale32.exe', and generates a notification after each boot.
