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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debootstrap - 1.0.40~ubuntu0.6

---------------
debootstrap (1.0.40~ubuntu0.6) precise; urgency=medium

  * pkgdetails_perl: Only interpret percentages following whitespace, to
    cope with GNU wget outputting the local file name (which may contain "%"
    due to URL-encoding) after it finishes the download (LP: #1172101).
  * Install apt-transport-https and ca-certificates if installing from an
    HTTPS mirror (LP: #1135163).

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.
