Bogus 'svn: No route to host'?

[Hauke Fath <hauke%Espresso.Rhein-Neckar.DE@localhost>]

All,

when I tried to update wip/vpnc-svn, I ran into 

% svn --version | grep -2 '^svn'
svn, version 1.8.5 (r1542147)
   compiled Jan  7 2014, 19:11:43 on x86_64--netbsd

% svn checkout 'http://svn.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/vpnc/' vpnc
svn: E000065: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 
'http://svn.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/vpnc'
svn: E000065: Error running context: No route to host
%

which turned out to be bogus, since the server can be telnetted to, and 
the older svn16 can checkout just fine. I can reproduce the above both 
from home (amd64) and work (i386) machines.

Turning to the usual search engines didn't really help.

Does anybody see anything similar, and would this be a subversion 
problem, or a pkgsrc one?
