I filed a separate issue 1654702 for the permissions problem.
However, after temporarily fixing permissions of that directory, I still struggle to download the files automatically:
Sourceforge seems to set a mirror per files. Rarely one of the mirrors is hosting the file.
Now that msttfcorefonts-installer tries to download many files, sourceforge sets a separate mirror for each file.
Chances are high that one of the mirrors fails.
If one of the mirror fails msttfcorefonts-installer fails.
I tried about 20 times now and msttfcorefonts-installer never succeeded to download the files.
Suggested fix: - Use one fixed mirror to download all the files - And/or: Try multiple times - And/or: Use reliable hosting
