No all the files which dselect wasn't able to install (via apt)
were installable via "dpkg -i"

I used libtool and man-db as examples to show that the problem was
caused by apt-get und to post "short" errormessages (instead of the
output after failing to install 42 packages). I repeat: All packages
were installable with dpkg -i after apt-get was unable to install
them. Using another mirror solved this problem. Two different mirrors
in Germany were affected by this.
Kind regards
