“/usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found” when trying to install apt-transport-https
1
When I try to run any apt-get command, I get the error::
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
My first instinct was to try to sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https, so I did that, only to get the same error message after appearing to begin the download. So I checked many of the dozens of similar questions on this site and found that most recommended sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https. So, to make sure I just didn't make some dumb mistake, I tried this again, and it still didn't work.
Others recommended checking for typos in sources.list, and I found nothing but http:// on every link in there, so that can't be the problem as far as I know.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on a Docker container. I can also ping, so I don't think it's an Internet issue. Also, sources.list.d is empty.
