Hi, I just encountered an odd problem with a repo hosted on sourceforge, when calling apt-get update with this repo enabled in the sources.list I ended with a 301 error. Apparently this happens because sourceforge dropped its http service and now uses https exclusively. It took me a while to find that I had to install apt-transport-https to enable https support for apt-get and change the respective entry in sources.list from http:// to https:// , still it does not work however. Now on apt-get update I get the following error message:
Protocol "http" not supported or disabled in libcurl This is obviously the same problem as described here: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/12143/ Oddly enough, with an old laptop that still runs a completely dated version of LMDE (no more updates for the last two years or so) after installing apt-transport-https and fixing the sources.list line it worked, but so far no luck with my up-to-date Jessie :( Does anyone have an idea if there's something I can do about this?
