[Fink-beginners] Trouble with selfupdate-cvs

I've been having trouble updating my package descriptions via CVS. Namely, although the selfupdate-cvs runs without any errors (see output, below), it doesn't actually _do_ anything and my packages _are_ out of date. At first, I just thought that fewer packages were being updated, but I haven't seen anything at all for the last few months and just the other day I noticed on the Fink home page that the current version of xfree86 is 4.2.1.1, but mine is listed as 4.2.0.1 and I do have the unstable/main and unstable/crypto branches opened up.

So, any ideas what my problem is? I've been using this successfully for months and months, and it just stopped working "for no reason." FWIW, here's the output from CVS:

17:49:08surfer@vader~ 84% fink selfupdate-cvs
sudo /.sw/bin/fink selfupdate-cvs

I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.
The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'surfer'.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.
