Why? Because there's a workaround? Is everyone expected to be able to find that workaround?
https is an option provided in the installer, that apparently doesn't work (at least with the netinst installer), and it's not immediately clear why.
Essentially, I think it's a showstopper for anyone who doesn't know how to investigate further.
It all works fine using http for the mirror.And the archive mirror content is secured by checksums and signatures.
The point being that https isn't necessary? A different issue, I think.
I'm happy to do further testing with the VM; the thin client is less convenient as it has a job to do.Another job that will help: Find other bug reports that ask for installing ca-certificates. Yeah, I recall have I seen such requests before.
Not sure how to do that. The BTS UI doesn't seem to allow searching on the content of bug discussions; only subject and other metadata. I can't see any other debian-installer bugs that mention ca-certificates in the subject.
