[Bug 1135163] Re: d-i can't install against an https mirror

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debootstrap - 1.0.58

---------------
debootstrap (1.0.58) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Policy version 3.9.5: no changes required.
  * Install apt-transport-https if installing from an HTTPS mirror
    (LP: #1135163).  It may still be necessary to copy certificates into
    place, but there's at least a reasonable chance that somebody installing
    from HTTPS may want to keep using it, and we have to install
    apt-transport-https at this point otherwise they won't be able to do
    that end-to-end.

  d-i can't install against an https mirror

Bug description:
  It happens that d-i uses the wget from busybox, and as a result, it
  can't install against an https mirror. This is clearly not intended
  behavior, because apt-config is able to deal with https. Perhaps there
  should be a wget udeb that includes the right bits to have ssl
  support, or alternatively, busybox should support it.
