This workaround:
sudo apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer && sudo apt install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer
does *not* fix the installation on Disco for me. I'm assuming it may fix the problem for some if the redirection from https to http does not happen for some reason.
I'm able to install the Debian package from here: https://packages.debian.org/buster/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
The bug is present in at least 2 Ubuntu releases while the fix in Debian is available for all this time. This is... disappointing.
