Indeed. I posted a workaround to have it run here:
https://askubuntu.com/a/857970/585518
A copy:
There is an issue with the sourceforge downloads (mirrors and redirects
being slow and/or failing). To workaround this you can grab the files
manually from here for example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/ and
save them in the same directory (say mscorefonts).
The files are (from the installer): Those files are in the Microsoft
Windows self-installing format, and are named
andale32.exe, arial32.exe, arialb32.exe, comic32.exe, courie32.exe,
georgi32.exe, impact32.exe, times32.exe, trebuc32.exe, verdan32.exe and
webdin32.exe.
Make sure the package is purged and no remaining setup triggers are remaining:
sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Then in a terminal run:
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer #(this will fail again most
likely)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
That should give you a "graphical" interface in the terminal. Then point to the
directory with downloaded files like /home//Downloads/mscorefonts.
Make sure no deb files are in there, the seem to be picked up too and
then it fails.
