Yes, it's a solved problem. If you're manually moving things around in the file trees that Fink/CVS wants to update, then it's bound to happen sooner or later, and fixing it is no big deal. As the error messages you got indicate, the solution is to move (or just delete) the files that are in the way of what CVS needs to update. > I noted that these were all packages, formerly in unstable, that I updated last > week (when I update gnome).
