Hello Thomas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted base-installer into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-
installer/1.122ubuntu7.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

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.
