Version: 1.0.9.9
Followup-For: Bug #658452

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I installed apt-transport-https, edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point the debian mirrors to https.
Then apt-get update
then the process stops. No network traffic, no progress...

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
see above

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Program stopped working

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
a nice apt-get update
