The apt-transport-https isn't required

Open zoredache opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

Not an urgent issue, but this package installs an obsolete extra package that does nothing.

The apt-transport-https package hasn't done anything since apt 1.5 which was released and part of Deiban/Ubuntu starting back in 2017. Since then the apt-transport-https package is just a file telling the package is obselete.

On all the supported releases listed in 'platforms' in the role meta have a newer version of apt, and don't require apt-transport-https. All the releases of Debian and Ubuntu supported by the docker repository include a version of apt greater then 1.5.

Anyway, not urgent, but something that can almost certainly be dropped from the list of packages to be installed.
