Cannot install dependency: apt-transport-https when trying the Offline Assisted Installation

[CarlosALgit]

Wazuh version	Install type	Action performed	Platform
4.9.0-alpha3	AIO	Install	Ubuntu 22.04

Related: #3057

While working on the related issue, I was installing a Wazuh AIO using the Offline Installation Assistant.
First, I proceeded with the prerequisites step. Related documentation: https://documentation-dev.wazuh.com/v4.9.0-alpha3/deployment-options/offline-installation/index.html
Then, I followed the installation using the assistant. Related documentation: https://documentation-dev.wazuh.com/v4.9.0-alpha3/deployment-options/offline-installation/installation-assistant.html

The output when trying to install the indexer is the following:

But installing the package with apt seems to work fine:

Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.

No services need to be restarted.

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.

So, the purpose of this issue is to investigate if this error depends on us (Wazuh) and, if so, check if the problem persists on other installation methods and fix the problem.

Update Report

I installed manually the apt-transport-https package and continued with the installation in order to see if there was more errors after.

The Wazuh Manager installation was completed successfully but the Wazuh Dashboard failed trying to install the debhelper dependency:

Workaround

I'm going to check the code to review possible mistakes in the way we download the dependencies.

It's been decided to fix this kind of issue as part of the DevOps overhaul for 5.0.0.
