 Well -- your first (snipped) comment is that you changed the sources
file to require https:

 So naturally the install is looking to download the https package
/using/ https which isn't installed.

 If you were out visiting this remote machine (as I recall, you've
mentioned using other hardware at the site for testing), you should have
brought back the SD card -- installed/booted an RPi with a properly
configured network, made all your updates/upgrades, and then taken that
card back to the remote site on your next trip... {I'd suggest making
duplicate SD cards -- and keeping one at home so you can perform
updates/upgrades to it, and then take it to the remote site and just swap
SD cards... bringing the older one back to have updates/upgrades
applied...}
