Bug Description
I ran
apt install ttf-mscorefonts
oddly, it seems to run something, but this bug tool is denying that it's a package. It sure used to be in earlier releases, and the above command seems to agree.
It appears to be trying to get the fonts from sourceforge, and keeps retrying from time to time, then pops up a window telling me it failed again.
Looking on sourceforge, I see several choices, I'm not sure which one is being tried, but they seem to be rpm packages.
I would like the fonts. It seems to me this used to work.
