Package: apt Version: 1.0.10.2 Severity: normal If apt detects a missing transport (such as apt-transport-https), it will abort the entire apt update, including any in-progress updates over other transports.
When combined with #555674 (still present in unstable), the failed apt update causes apt to mark other packages as untrusted, including apt-transport-https. Thus, to securely install apt-transport-https, I had to temporarily comment out the https repository, update, install apt-transport-https, and uncomment the https repository. Even without that bug, though, aborting the rest of the update seems excessive. - Josh Triplett -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gnupg 1.4.19-5 ii libapt-pkg4.16 1.0.10.2 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libgcc1 1:5.2.1-17 ii libstdc++6 5.2.1-17 apt recommends no packages.
