When installing "git:send-email", the dependency "git" is not
installed. Installing this also masks a local installation of git
masked when running in a foreign distro. The particular failure
observed is that repos transferred over https no longer worked with
the error `fatal: unable to find remote helper for 'https'`.

This also happens in a different constellation. I have installed git via
system config and git:send-email via user profile.
This also leads to the mention error with https repos.

It is an eternal question. :-) Should installing the package “python-foo”
or “r-bar” also install the package “python” or the package “r-minimal”?
Well, the answer seems being: it is up to the user. Because of
diversity. Imagine that I want to install Git version x.y and the Git
package coming with “git:send-email” is at version p.q. Just one
example.
Therefore, I do not think it can be considered as a bug.

I am not sure to understand. What do you mean? Could you provide an
example to reproduce?
All the best,
simon

Gosh, it has been months. I'm not sure, and I'm pretty mentally spent.

Well, I mark this bug as moreinfo for now. Feel free to provide an
example to reproduce when you can.

I'm closing this forgotten issue. It seems the original problem
reported had to do with the system and user profiles not being merged as
would be expected, which is already known as #20255.
Thanks,
Maxim
