Package: apt-transport-https
Version: 1.0.1
Severity: minor

I've noticed that visible download progress is not shown in apt (sudo apt 
full-upgrade for example) when using a repository over HTTPS (after 
installing apt-transport-https.)

The download is successful but the indicator remains at 0% (or at 
whatever percent it was when it started downloading from the HTTPS repo, 
in cases where the upgrade process had first downloaded packages from 
other repos before moving on to the HTTPS one.)

The usual things like rate of speed and time remaining do not get 
displayed, resulting in the appearance that it's hung. Examining activity 
does show it's indeed downloading though, just not displaying anything.

To reproduce it:
Install apt-transport-https.
Configure the package manager to use a repo over HTTPS.
Install a package.
Watch as no progress is shown but it is downloaded successfully and the 
normal installation process happens.
Later, remove the package & do apt-get clean so that .deb so that it has 
to be downloaded again.
Edit sources.list and replace https with http and install the package 
again.
Notice that things like rate of speed and time remaining are displayed, 
while they were not previously. The only difference being the use of http 
vs https.

1.0.1 is a rather strange version to have still in use as even oldstable
has a newer version (1.0.9.8.4). Anyhow, I remember changes to the
progress reporting in 1.1~exp9 which has the changelog entry:

  * improve https method queue progress reporting.
    Thanks to Robert Edmonds and Anders Kaseorg for initial patchs
    (Closes: 777565, 781509)

So, that is presumably fixed by now. Note that in 1.5 we are in the process of
dropping the independent https implementation in favour of adding 's' to our
existing 'http' – as such apt in unstable (and testing) behaves the same in
regards to progress reporting regardless of http or https as its the
exact same code. In other words: It is presumably fixed a second time.

As such I am closing as done in newer releases.


Best regards
