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

[Colin Watson]

** Also affects: debootstrap (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: choose-mirror (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: base-installer (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: apt-setup (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  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.
