This looks like it happened because I was building in an environment
with one of those broken DNS servers that tries to be helpful by
redirecting unknown host names to itself, so a web browser will be
pointed to an error page.  (Never mind the fact that with any protocol
other than HTTP, it just looks like the server is down or refusing
connections, instead of giving the correct error.  Grr...)

Anyway, it would be nice if the package could build even with such a
broken DNS setup from an ISP.
