I've taken a look and found the problem.
This has nothing to do with the network configuration, but is due to changes
made in the update policy at the final stage of the product : snf has now its
own directory for updates, but since it's a 7.2 at its core, the updated
packages are the same and so are simple _links_ to the 7.2 updated packages.
Being a link simply breaks a regular expression in the scripts that handle
the packages list, packages_to_update.pl, download_packages.pl and
show_description.pl. I think this had been tested only with real files :-(
Since they're small, I attach the modified files to this mail, tell me if
this fixes the problem. They must be placed in /usr/share/naat/scripts/
