Found this workaround in #1655431. Quoting: Boris Rybalkin (ribalkin) wrote on 2017-11-26: #18 Was able to fix sf mirrors issue by replacing sf mirror with some github copy: sudo sed -i 's#http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts#https://github.com/pushcx/corefonts/raw/master#g' /usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer Then run: sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader All downloaded and good. [End quote] This solves the mirrors problems with Sourceforge. There remains a problem that an authentication dialog disappears even before you get a chance to answer.
