[Bug 1896823] Re: possible incorrect link to apt-transport-https

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help make Ubuntu
better.

I did some quick searching, and found that the generic messages
The method driver %s could not be found.
Is the %s package installed?
are both in apt. However, I don't know where they get the list of method drivers and other parameters from, and I couldn't find any mentions of "hhttps".
