I’ve just had a very confusing time with a dockerfile

I wonder if it’s related to the cert error I see here

[https://packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ros-humble-image-transport-plugins/ros-humble-image-transport-plugins\_2.5.4-1jammy.20251017.031841\_amd64.deb](https://packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ros-humble-image-transport-plugins/ros-humble-image-transport-plugins_2.5.4-1jammy.20251017.031841_amd64.deb)

Adding

`RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends `  
`-o Acquire::https::Verify-Peer=false `  
`-o Acquire::https::Verify-Host=false \`

And it now works, and probably isn’t at all sketchy.. So I think there probably is a cert problem

Are you sure it’s not just [this issue](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/ros-signing-key-migration-guide/43937)? For me, and many others, [this answer in that thread](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/ros-signing-key-migration-guide/43937/32) worked for fixing it.

Normally, apt packages are downloaded over http and not https, aren’t they? The integrity of the download is verified by checksum.

See [SSL certificate problems with packages.ros.org?](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/ssl-certificate-problems-with-packages-ros-org/15039)

I don’t believe anything has changed.
