Public bug reported: When upgrading the mssttcorefonts, the ttf-mscorefonts-installer returns an error. Output added below. Do note the space in the second (redirected) url. When downloading the file in a browser throught the second url (redirected from the first), it does work. This happens even with multiple runs and various redirects, so it is not directly related to this single example.
