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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package base-installer - 1.122ubuntu7.4

---------------
base-installer (1.122ubuntu7.4) precise; urgency=medium

  * pkgdetails.c: Only interpret percentages following whitespace, to cope
    with GNU wget outputting the local file name (which may contain "%" due
    to URL-encoding) after it finishes the download (LP: #1172101).
  * Add HTTPS support: pass --no-check-certificate to debootstrap if
    debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated_ssl=true, set https_proxy if
    necessary, and copy any certificates that exist in d-i into the target
    system (LP: #1135163).

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.

  This is a prerequisite for bug 833994, which is a customer requirement
  for Ubuntu 12.04.5.
