Well, the network is behind a firewall, that does allow http and ftp and nothing else. Because I didn't enter our proxy, I'm not sure, what happened, DNS will fail surely. After ten or twenty seconds I got bored and pressed ^C. Maybe one could add a helpful text for newbies at this place: Trying to update the package database.
