Title:
Netinstall ISO offers usage of HTTPS mirrors but lacks ca-certificates
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When using the netboot ISO (https://ftp.halifax.rwth-
aachen.de/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-
amd64/20101020ubuntu543/images/netboot/mini.iso) in the "expert
command line mode", the installer asks the user to select between the
protocols HTTP, HTTPS and FTP when specifying a mirror server.
However, HTTPS mirrors don't work at all since the ISO lacks the "ca-
certificates" package.
When using the installer in the "non-expert"/"normal" command line
mode, even when manually specifying an HTTPS mirror, either HTTP gets
used or the mirror server's certificates don't get checked at all
(haven't found out yet which of the two possibilities applies).
Either way, the ca-certificates package should be included in the
netboot iso.
