This is not specific to the fetchmsttfonts package though, you should get the same error when tring to install anything else as well.Thank you very much, you've been utmost helpfull. Like you mentioned, i had problem also with other installations and updates. After doing what you suggested repositories refresh without error messages and i succesfully installed the fonts.
