This is a duplicate of #712540 [1], solved (in the current development version of Debian, – BKA Jessie, or “testing”) back last November. See [2, 3]. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/712540 [2] https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wget [3] http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/w/wget/wget_1.15-1_changelog > (fwiw, it's also not clear what packages are actually needed, > ca-certificates is a recommendation but I think curl also requires > libssl) The ‘curl’ package Recommends: ca-certificates via its ‘libcurl3’ dependency. As there’s no similar underlying library for Wget, Recommends: ca-certificates was added to the ‘wget’ package directly. (The default APT configuration is to install recommended packages, unless the user explicitly chooses not to.) -- FSF associate member #7257 http://boycottsystemd.org/ … 3013 B6A0 230E 334A -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
