The VM on the left is using the current 18.04.4 LTS mini.iso provided from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main /installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ with a date of 2020-01-30.
The VM on the right is using the mini.iso I created that contains the test debootstrap package, from https://people.canonical.com/~mruffell/sf289200/ On both, I selected [Advanced Options] and then [Command Line Expert Install]. From there I answered the usual questions. When I was asked to configure the mirror, I selected "https" and then entered in a local mirror in my country, mirror.fsmg.org.nz. The VM on the left fails with the error message that apt-transport-https can't be found, and stops. The VM on the right installs the base system fine, and successfully installs the system. The test packages work. I will ask for my patches to be sponsored and hopefully we can get debootstrap fixed before the 18.04.5 LTS deadline. ** Attachment added: "Comparison of old mini.iso and test mini.iso" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1772556/+attachment/5395065/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-07-23%2015-35-17.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772556 Title: d-i netinstall fails due to missing apt-transport-https package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1772556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
