Comment 36 for bug 1651923

Just checked apt 1.2.9 from proposed on an x86_64 16.04 system . The package ttf-mscorefonts-installer version 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to download font files, but rather returns a 403 error on the first file download attempt.
Directly accessing the failed link through a browser gives the expected result of a download being offered.
