Here's a work-around until the package is fixed:
TMP=`mktemp -d`
cd $TMP
grep Url: /usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer | awk
'{print $2}' | xargs -n 1 wget
sudo /usr/lib/msttcorefonts/update-ms-fonts $TMP/*
cd -
rm -rf $TMP
Note that this does skip the hash sum check, but they're just fonts,
It's not like someone's going to hijack the download.sourceforge.net DNS
and use it to distribute invalid files. The files aren't being executed:
the update-ms-fonts script uses cabextract to pull the TTF files out of
each exe.
Anyway, hope this helps.
