Package: apt Version: 1.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When a package repository URL is added with 'https://' an 'apt update' or 'apt-get update' fails with the following error: <snip> $ sudo apt-get update Hit:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing InRelease Hit:2 http://security.debian.org testing/updates InRelease Hit:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing-updates InRelease Reading package lists... Done E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found. N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed? E: Failed to fetch https://images.validation.linaro.org/staging-repo/dists/sid/InRelease E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. </snip> https:// is very common, hence apt should, by default have a mandatory dependency on 'apt-transport-https' and should be installed when apt or apt-get is installed. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.16\.0-4-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^postgresql-"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-signed-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-backports-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-tools"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/test -e /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service && /usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 4 --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update > /dev/null; /bin/echo > /dev/null"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "if /usr/bin/test -w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then appstreamcli refresh-cache > /dev/null; fi"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
