Roberto C. Sanchez created ARROW-8954:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: ca-certificates should be listed in installation instructions
                 Key: ARROW-8954
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8954
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation, Website
            Reporter: Roberto C. Sanchez


The [installation instructions|https://arrow.apache.org/install/] list the following command for Debian and Ubuntu installation:


{noformat}
sudo apt install -y -V lsb-release wget
{noformat}


However, on a base Debian system configured to not install recommended packages, that results in wget producing the following error:


{noformat}
root@buster:~# wget https://apache.bintray.com/arrow/$(lsb_release --id --short | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')/apache-arrow-archive-keyring-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
--2020-05-26 18:35:52--  https://apache.bintray.com/arrow/debian/apache-arrow-archive-keyring-latest-buster.deb
Resolving apache.bintray.com (apache.bintray.com)... 52.38.12.101, 50.112.155.255
Connecting to apache.bintray.com (apache.bintray.com)|52.38.12.101|:443... connected.
ERROR: The certificate of 'apache.bintray.com' is not trusted.
ERROR: The certificate of 'apache.bintray.com' doesn't have a known issuer.
{noformat}

It is necessary to have the ca-certificates package installed for wget to be able to verify the issuer and server certificate.  The wget package recommends, but does not depend on, ca-certificates, so the documentation should include it in the supplied command line.

The command should be updated to:


{noformat}
sudo apt install -y -V lsb-release wget ca-certificates
{noformat}
