I'm also seeing this error on 20.04 x86_64 in the UK.
The workaround in #6 almost worked; I needed version 3.8 instead of 3.6.
I.e. the commands were:
wget
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i
Seeing this on 20.04 daily, three purge + reinstall required before
successful installation.

Fetching from github was significantly faster than fetching from
