Hi, I've tried to update my installer from 12.04 to 12.04.5 and all packages referenced in the comment #10 failed to download. (All is working fine when I switch back on the 12.04 installer)
Is this fix is included in the 12.04.5 netboot (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/12.04/) ?

It's probably simplest to test them all together. Original report: In the Ubuntu raring (13.04) version of wget, there is a wget-udeb which installs its binary executable to /usr/bin/wget.gnu. This is presumably done in order to not break any setups that depend on busybox's wget implementation. However, since the primary reason wget-udeb exists in Ubuntu (wget- udeb is not built in Debian afaik) is because of the lack of SSL support in d-i and busybox-wget, it seems logical (to me) that it should overwrite the busybox wget symlink. You're choosing to opt-in to GNU wget, so you're already rebuilding d-i/debian-cd and therefore know you're somewhat on your own. Unless there is a common use case I'm not considering where you want SSL support for something else, but somehow depend on the busybox implementation of wget for the debootstrap portion of the install. What I expect to happen: 1) modify d-i source to include wget-udeb 2) rebuild d-i and point my sources to HTTPS repositories 3) install Ubuntu without fear of the traffic being snooped in transit What happens instead: 1) modify d-i source to include wget-udeb 2) rebuild d-i and point sources to HTTPS repositories 3) install fails because d-i calls /usr/bin/wget which points to busybox (which has no SSL support) Thanks for your time! Please note: this suggestion is not intended to securely authenticate the repository; that's absolutely another issue. This is simply to address potential snooping of traffic in transit.
