Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Dear Maintainers,
while working to build a more automated installation process around d-i Stretch RC 2 (using the netinst iso), I tried to preseed the following: ,---- | choose-mirror-bin mirror/protocol select https | choose-mirror-bin mirror/https/hostname string deb.debian.org | choose-mirror-bin mirror/https/directory string /debian `---- This does not work as I expected: According to the log, fetching the Release files using wget seems to work, but the in-target apt emits the following: ,---- | Reading package lists... | | E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found. | E: Failed to fetch https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/InRelease | E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored or old | ones used instead. `---- I guess that adding apt-transport-https to the base system (and including it in the netinst .ISO) ought to fix this problem. Cheers, -Hilko
