Ummm... no. not really. It seems to say it is having trouble resolving
the name. Why not try nslookup? Can you access other stuff outside
your local net? Try a manual ftp to ftp.us.debian.org. If that works,
I guess a bug report against apt is in order. Might there be some other
software getting in the way? We have some kind of http monitor that is
always getting in the way somehow. Since ftp works for me, I have never
taken the time to try to work through the bureaucracy to fix it.
