apt-file: does not support https transport

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: apt-file
Version: 2.1.0
Severity: normal


Whenever I call sudo apt-file update or apt-file search foo, I get
W: Don't know how to handle https: No such file or directory
because I have an unofficial repo for myself which I, like every-
thing, make available via https. For apt-get, it works.
