I am curious, what is this "https.bin" file? Or rather, what is with "https"… You see, the method we ship(ped) in apt-transport-https should be in `/usr/lib/apt/methods/https`. We do not and never did ship a `/usr/lib/apt/methods/https.bin` (which is the file the core was produced for now that I look again & why this variable has this seemingly weird content). $ ls -l /usr/lib/apt/methods/https* $ file /usr/lib/apt/methods/https* Looks for me like you have some script (or at least a symlink) in `/usr/lib/apt/methods/https` which invokes `https.bin`. Do you remember how you got that setup? Is a dpkg-divert involved or is that "fixed" by a --reinstall as dpkg does not preserve modifications to non-config files belonging to packages (if not diverted). Could be that the "https.bin" file is not even the version a-t-https ships. Or it could just not be prepared to be renamed (I vaguely remember something about that) as we use the name of the binary to choose how to act. Best regards David Kalnischkies
