The problem is indeed with mirrors.ctan.org that redirects (and
distributes: at every invocation, it yields a different server) and hget(1)
does not do it.
For the time being specifying:
$KERTEX_SHELL some_rcp.sh -p http install
will use the KerGIS cache instead of the CTAN mirrors, without
redirectioni, and it will succeed.
I will rework, some time, the logic to let a configuration file
specifies the sites to try in order of preference, instead of
specifying the server in the download list spec.
