Please sync, yakkety is awaiting too

msttcorefonts (3.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Mark Multi-Arch: foreign, thanks Scott Ritchie, Daniel Hartwig
    (closes: #700684).
  * Switch to debhelper 9. Update for policy 3.9.4 (no changes).
  * Use maintscript support in dh_installdeb rather than writing out
    dpkg-maintscript-helper commands by hand.  We now simply Pre-Depend on a
    new enough version of dpkg rather than using 'dpkg-maintscript-helper
    supports' guards, leading to more predictable behaviour on upgrades.
    Thanks Colin Watson (closes: #659724).
  * Proxy test failed when HTTP:// is given in uppercase. Thanks
    Tobias Olsson (LP: #1072580).
  * Show licence message when fonts actually installed (closes: #672259).

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts
  and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As noted in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/45,
  the current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the
  font files in an incorrect network location. The consequence of this
  is that the core fonts are never installed.

  The Debian (upstream) version 3.6 of ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  searches for the font files in the correct network location, and will
  successfully install the core fonts.

  This problem occurs with Ubuntu 16.04 as of July 2016. (And with
  earlier versions, including current LTS.)
