Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
I was trying to access a private PPA and on the first update attempt
got:
$ sudo apt-get update
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
What I needed to do was install apt-transport-https. It seems apt could
give a more useful error message here. Something like:
E: The method https driver could not be found. Please install the apt-
transport-https package.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
