Bug#1015887: debian-installer: Adding https repo doesn't work without manually installing ca-certificates

[Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>]

Control: reassign -1 apt-setup-udeb
Control: fixed -1 1:0.169

Hi,

I just had a look at this, and it seems to me that this was fixed in
apt-setup-udeb 0.169, but the version in the released (Debian 11)
installer is only at 0.166, so does not include the fix.

Looking at the syslog in this bug, one can see:

  apt-setup-udeb 1:0.166

which is the version in the release, and is from 2021-07-23.

The thing that fixes the bug is:

  https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/apt-setup/-/merge_requests/4

which was merged on 2022-01-29, then released as part of 1:0.169.

I've reproduced the failure with the release version of D-I, and failed
to reproduce it with yesterday's daily image (where one sees the
installation of the c-certificates package go past just after selecting
the mirror), so it really looks to have been fixed already.

If you want to try that for yourself, the daily images can be found
here:

Cheers, Phil.
