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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package choose-mirror - 2.55ubuntu1

---------------
choose-mirror (2.55ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Use Ubuntu mirrors.
    - Ubuntu branding.
    - Set default country to GB.
    - Never ask mirror/suite, mark it untranslatable, and give it
      appropriate choices for Ubuntu.
    - Pick CC.archive.ubuntu.com (for the country selected in the installer)
      as the default mirror. For ports architectures (armel, powerpc) use
      ports.ubuntu.com instead.
    - Drop the priorities of the country/mirror questions to medium if we're
      installing from a CD that includes the base system.
    - Support setting OVERRIDE_BASE_INSTALLABLE in the environment to force
      choose-mirror to assume that the base system is installable.
    - Skip mirror validation if the base system is installable and we're
      installing from a mirror in the masterlist.
    - Don't check if archive.ubuntu.com is reachable before asking for a
      proxy.
    - Allow preseeding the default CC.archive.ubuntu.com setup by preseeding
      mirror/http/mirror to CC.archive.ubuntu.com, and likewise for
      mirror/ftp/mirror.
    - Force xgettext to use UTF-8 encoding when generating templates files,
      to cope with Côte d'Ivoire.
    - Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country
      if the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting
      to GB.
    - Exclude all-countries mirrors such as ports.ubuntu.com when
      determining whether there is a mirror in the country specified in
      debian-installer/country.
    - If the selected country has no mirror (excluding all-countries
      mirrors), then fall back to the default.

    added to the initrd.

  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.
