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.

Very astute. This is indeed the usual way for this problem to crop up.

Good solution in this case. It should fix the problem.

Yep :)
