tff-mscorefonts-installer problem

[Aaron2694]

This has been happening quite a lot with my downloads from the software manager. Usually i just ignore it but today it stopped the installation all together. I was trying to install Galaga and i get this error. Can someone tell me what to do or how to fix this.

Did you just try goint to system/admin/software sources/Ubuntu sources tab to download from select custom and pick a new mirror to download from then reload or
"sudo apt-get update" without quotes. Seems like a server problem not yours.
