[Bug 1777474] [NEW] Netinstall ISO offers usage of HTTPS mirrors but lacks ca-certificates

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When using the netboot ISO (https://ftp.halifax.rwth-
aachen.de/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-
amd64/20101020ubuntu543/images/netboot/mini.iso) in the "expert command
line mode", the installer asks the user to select between the protocols
HTTP, HTTPS and FTP when specifying a mirror server. However, HTTPS
mirrors don't work at all since the ISO lacks the "ca-certificates"
package.

When using the installer in the "non-expert"/"normal" command line mode,
even when manually specifying an HTTPS mirror, either HTTP gets used or
the mirror server's certificates don't get checked at all (haven't found
out yet which of the two possibilities applies).

Either way, the ca-certificates package should be included in the
netboot iso.
