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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package choose-mirror - 2.39ubuntu4.1

---------------
choose-mirror (2.39ubuntu4.1) precise; urgency=medium

  * Add HTTPS support (LP: #1135163).  This is enabled by default here as it
    isn't unreasonably large, but won't be usable unless GNU wget has been
    added to the initrd.

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.
