Just verified that the same command runs okay on other machines. Closer inspection revealed that in /etc/make.conf specific GENTOO_MIRRORS had been given. I conclude that none of these provided the file. As soon I had removed this line, the 'emerge -u net-utils' works fine. Sorry for spamming bugzilla. This bug report was no bug but stupidity on the admin side.
no problem
