Additional package apt-transport-https needed for https://fai-project.org/download jessie koeln in /etc/apt/sources.list

[Jens Abromeit]

Hello Thomas & all!

before the changes described below "aptitude update" results on my FAI
server to "Unable to connect to fai-project.org:http:"
I didn't check in detail in which parts of the FAI repository similiar
changes must be made.
But I assume, there are some, or'?

*aptitude update*
[...]
Err http://fai-project.org jessie InRelease
Err http://fai-project.org jessie Release.gpg
  Unable to connect to fai-project.org:http:
Fetched 633 kB in 2min 0s (5,271 B/s)
W: Failed to fetch http://fai-project.org/download/dists/jessie/InRelease:
W: Failed to fetch
http://fai-project.org/download/dists/jessie/Release.gpg: Unable to
connect to fai-project.org:http:
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

I remembered, that Thomas announced the the project page now is working
with HTTPS, so
I changed /etc/apt/sources.list from

OLD: deb http://fai-project.org/download jessie koeln
NEW deb *https*://fai-project.org/download jessie koeln

Then I got:

 aptitude update
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/*methods/https could not be found.*

Solution:

*aptitude install apt-transport-https*
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  apt-transport-https
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded

Then "aptitude update" results to:

Ign https://fai-project.org jessie InRelease
Ign https://fai-project.org jessie Release.gpg
Ign https://fai-project.org jessie Release
Ign https://fai-project.org jessie/koeln i386 Packages/DiffIndex

Best Regards

Jens
