Title:
  Insists in reporting an unsuccessful extra download

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Every while and then I get a notification stating that there is a

  Extra data file download unsuccessful

  And it mentions a file called ttf-mscorefonts-installer and says the system will try the download in the future and proposes to accomplish the action now by clicking on a button.
  If I do so, the action fails with this message:

  ttf-mscorefonts-installer: processing...
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer: downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe
  Err:1 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe
    404  Not Found
  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/andale32.exe' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permesso negato)
  E: Impossibile recuperare https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the fonts/final/andale32.exe  404  Not Found

  E: Scaricamento non riuscito

  Despite I have installed the installer myself, this error is popping out with these annoying dialogs.
  It's clearly an error in detecting the actual need for the installation and there is possible wrong URL to download the packages.
