I modified /etc/apt/sources.list by entering
'deb https://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib
non-free rpi'
but the result of 'sudo apt-get update' is this:
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
Also tried
'sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https'
but nothing has changed
Removed https from sources.list nothing has changed
Also done the reboot
:-?
