[Bug 1777474] Re: Netinstall ISO offers usage of HTTPS mirrors but lacks ca-certificates

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Assigning to debian-installer for now -- this might be an issue where
ca-certificates is missing (since it needs to be there before you go get
it from an https mirror, hopefully).

That said, is this issue reproducible using the standard iso image; the
one available on
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-
amd64.iso ?

** Package changed: ubuntu => debian-installer (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  Netinstall ISO offers usage of HTTPS mirrors but lacks ca-certificates

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
