    This very much looks like some issue with networking. I know that debian packages are supposed to be buildable (and testable) without network
    access. However, all these test should only do connections to localhost,
    and these ususally do work on the buildds.

    I didn't find a reason yet why it fails now, for this rebuild. I would
    guess that the builder is somehow configured differently from all the
    others, but that's pure speculation.

    As, to the best of my knowledge, zurl was mostly used as a backend for
    pushpin, and pushpin switched over to a different implementation
    (condure), I don't want to spend much time on this — it wouldn't be a
    great loss if this package was removed from debian. But then, there may
    still be some users that didn't switch yet, so I would prefer to keep
    zurl for now, if the only reason to remove it was that some test cases
    fail because they are not compatible with a specific auto-builder
    config.
