10 years forward, in the meanwhile apt-transport-https is no longer a thing (was deprecated with apt 1.6~alpha1 and is a transitional package since then). All what's needed to properly handle https nowadays is ca-certificates (with its openssl dependency), as I just verified on a Debian/trixie system. PS: in the meanwhile the problem get worse though, because APT uses the DEB822 source format nowadays (so no longer having /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list but /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources), so pbuilder's auto detection of the default mirror no longer works even with only http on a current (trixie or newer) Debian system. regards -mika-
