I attached the stdout+stderr output to this mail.

Well, simply as

  export http_proxy=<proxyurl:port>

as it is regarded by all tools I use.

Now I did (for the log above!!):

$ cat ~/.m2/settings.xml
<settings>
  <proxies> <!-- http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html -->
   <proxy>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>fw-bln-proxy.rki.ivbb.bund.de</host>
      <port>8080</port>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>


BTW, I honestly think that there needs to be a hint to the URL
above at least in README.Debian.  I would be even more happy
as a user if I would get a warning:

  mvn: You have set a proxy via http_proxy in your environment but
       there is no file ~/.m2/settings.xml / a proxy entry in this
       file is missing.
       Should I create such a file / an according entry for you
       based on the proxy information? [Y/n]

or something like this.  If it turns out the the proxy is not
the real reason for my problem (but should be set anyway) I'd like
to turn this into a wishlist bug report.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
