Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer 404 errors

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version
  ==============

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  Package information
  ===================

  ttf-mscorefonts-installer:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2
    Version table:
       3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 500
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/multiverse amd64 Packages
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/multiverse i386 Packages

  
  What happens
  ============

  The servers that the `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` package uses to
  download the fonts are messed up:

  Preparing to unpack .../ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.4+nmu1ubuntu2_all.deb ...
  mscorefonts-eula license has already been accepted
  Unpacking ttf-mscorefonts-installer (3.4+nmu1ubuntu2) over (3.4+nmu1ubuntu2) ...
  Processing triggers for fontconfig (2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1) ...
  Processing triggers for update-notifier-common (3.168.2) ...
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer: processing...
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer: downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe

  E: Failed to fetch https://pilotfiber.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the fonts/final/andale32.exe  404  Not Found

  E: Download Failed
  Setting up ttf-mscorefonts-installer (3.4+nmu1ubuntu2) ...

  This sort of thing happens repeatedly. Sometimes the first font or two
  will download, but there's always one that fails.
