Hi folks,

is there some way to tell apt the path to the root CA certificate, so it could
verify the certificate chain provided by a private debian repository via https?
I had added tho root CA to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates seem and ran
update-ca-certificates, but this did not help.

Hopefully I am not too blind to see, but apt.conf(5) and the others don't
mention certificates.


There was a similar topic to this a while back and I do not believe APT supports HTTPS only HTTP and FTP. You can digitally sign packages and add a key as a repo key to verify their integrity. The Repo is always public as the software is usually open source anyway.
