Same issue for me
As workaround, I have edited my /usr/share/ package- data-downloads/ ttf-mscorefonts -installer file and replace http:// downloads. sourceforge. net/corefonts with https://<MIRROR> /project/ corefonts/ the%20fonts/ final for each components.
where <MIRROR> is my sourceforge mirror default server.
I replaced the white space with %20
Example : if you mirror is https:/ /pilotfiber. dl.sourceforge. net you can replace http:// downloads. sourceforge. net/corefonts with https:/ /pilotfiber. dl.sourceforge. net/project/ corefonts/ the%20fonts/ final
