Thank you Zac and Bryan!

Looking at the file in question in nano, I saw that it has to do with
firewalls. Scanning menuconfig for something related, I found "network
packet filtering", which was selected. So I unselected it, and after
that all worked well, as far as the installation goes (now I am a bit
stuck with X, but it is another story).
