Sorry, the installation is already whiped out. But I am pretty sure that it
is a proxy-issue. Since when I moved the laptop to my home (no proxy) the
update ran without any issues... I think I posted it somewhere on the
bugreport that I thought the module which does upgrade-web-connections can
not handle some proxy settings correctly (I also found an error-report from
wget where a internet-addres in the form of
http://user:password@address...:8080
(where the 8080 was the proxy-port) gave an error message stating the 'port
was invalid' where I assumed that the program maybe did a wrong
interpretation of the first colon and tried to use password as a port
number... (?)

what do you say?
