  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4 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:

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