In our case it burned a number of days of dev time, so this is definitely causing pain.

I think so, but I don't think it's worth pushing out an update just for that change. It's been broken since forever, so it's not like it's fixing a regression or something; so I'd probably wait for something else to attach it to. ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762766 Title: apt-get update hangs when apt-transport-https is not installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1762766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
