The other night I did a regular self-update as opposed to the self-update-cvs that I usually do. Now I'm getting this error message when I try to do selfupdate-cvs, I get this error message:

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 'jamescoy'.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su jamescoy -c 'cvs -q -z3 update -d -P'
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv29312
Read-only file system
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.


I repaired permissions, and cannot manually change /usr/bin to read and write...I'm not sure what happened here and don't know how to correct it.

Thanks for any help.
