问题
I am trying to download the ttf-mscorefonts-installer packages on Ubuntu 18.04.
But I am getting an error on downloading the installer.
This is what shows on the terminal
ttf-mscorefonts-installer: downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arialb32.exe
Err:1 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arialb32.exe

I found this workaround that solves the problem for me:
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
Additionally I set the older version to hold:
sudo apt-mark hold ttf-mscorefonts-installer
That prevents further updates.

I replace all "http" with "https" in /usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer and run /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader, then it works!
