This can actually lead to a weird behavior for users. In a system
having something under people.debian.org in apt sources.list and
apt-transport-https not installed, in today's testing upgrade,
$ sudo apt-get update
[...]
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apt-transport-https
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 275 not upgraded.
Need to get 132 kB of archives.
After this operation, 221 kB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
apt-transport-https
Install these packages without verification? [y/N]
E: Some packages could not be authenticated
I can't reproduce it here.
I do get the “method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be
found” error message. But, as one would expect, it doesn't have any
effect on authentication of the packages from the main archive.
But if the authentication troubles are really related to the HTTP->HTTPS
switch, then it's a bug in apt that should be fixed.
