I don't really understand how you get this output from git. This is the output on my system (also Lucid):

So Edit after updated question:

Besides the fact that you first git cloned orocos_toolchain and all rtt_* packages in one directory, roscd into orocos_toolchain and git submodule init and finally git submodule update? And that fails? I've just tried it again and it works. What does nslookup git.gitorious.org return? Any firewalls?

have a problem with git, I also can't find the dependency on OROCOS in hector_slam (at least not on its wiki page)?

A Also: a deb (binary package) install is not possible? Edit: seems not, as there are (AFAIK) no debs for orocos_toolchain on fuerte yet.

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dst/robotics/experiments/orocos_toolchain/rtt/.git/I am sitting behind a proxy but that should not be a problem.

Should not no, but I've seen stranger things happen. The 'Peer closed the TLS connection' bit could point towards your proxy interfering with SSL traffic somehow. As to why the other git clone invocations succeed, no idea. A quick Google search shows more people with similar problems (see here for instance). No solutions that I don't really understand how can find though.

If possible, try without the proxy, to rule out any problems with it.

Alternatively, you get this output could download a zip from git. This is the output on my system (also Lucid):

Alternatively, you could download a zip from gitorious of each of the projects referenced, create the required directory structure by hand and proceed with building.
