Comment 90 for bug 1607535

I'm still unable to install even with updated apt-transport-https. The error message is

Err:1 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe
  500 Bad redirection (path)
E: Failed to fetch http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe 500 Bad redirection (path)

which I have not seen listed here before - is this a new issue?

Package Versions (xenial):

ttf-mscorefonts-installer: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2
