As has been said: Apt 0.0.18 will contain a workaround
for this problem, but I'd like to say some words
to my hostname.
The problem with my hostname is: I don't have one. ;)
I only get dynamic ip numbers when dialing up.
IMHO there is a big lack of support for dynamic ip
in many programs. I try to figure out how to set
up my Linux box with dynamic ip correctly, but there
seems to be no official, no right way to do it.
Normally my primary hostname is 'pumuckl.lan.local'.
'nowhere.uni-hamburg.de' just was a try to solve the
problem with apt. But it didn't work.

My hostname has more than one segment. 'uname -a' is
reporting only the hostname, not the fully qualified one
(hostname with complete domain) even if I do:
'echo some.domain >/proc/sys/kernel/domainname'.
