not possible to install apt-transport-https package on jessie
Hi,
I am trying to install the apt-transport-https package in order to
avoid the "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not
be found." error message which recently appeared when I want to
apt-get update/upgrade. Unfortunately something is wrong here but I
have no idea what... Have a look below at my commands and output.
Regards,
John
