[Bug 1318819] [NEW] The apt-transport-https package doesn't install the certificates it needs to work correctly

[Michel Peterson]

Public bug reported:

Since it needs to have the certificates to correctly validate the secure
connection a requirement of ca-certificates should be imposed.

% lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04

% apt-cache policy apt-transport-https
apt-transport-https:
  Installed: 1.0.1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.0.1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mirrors.linode.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What happens
============

When adding a https apt repo it fails on update if ca-certificates
wasn't installed as a requirement of another package.

What should happen
==================

It should be able to update the source correctly if ca-certificates
wasn't installed as a requirement of another package.
