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

[Robin]

A new bug, based on comment 45, has been raised asking for ttf-
mscorefonts-installer to be updated to version 3.6 from Debian since, as
of July 2016, the network locations of the font files have been changed.
(That was not the original bug.) Thus version 3.4 will never
successfully download the core font files. The bug to add heat to is
1607535: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1607535

Title:
  [server] package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 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.
