[Bug 1613184] Re: method mirror broken at 1.3

[Pieter]

temporary workaround is to downgrade to 1.2

# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-transport-
https_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb


repeat dpkg -i for 

/var/cache/apt/archives/apt-transport-https_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/apt-utils_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/libapt-inst2.0_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/libapt-pkg5.0_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
