Thanks Ben for taking the time to reply - please understand that some of us are mainly scientists, not programmers, greatly appreciated the programs that Fink provides and the time people have put into this, but often come from a lack of knowledge.
Yes, i know. This is a FAQ though, so it needs to be in the FAQ. You should not take offense at me requesting someone to put a FAQ, in the FAQ. :) (it is normal on mailing lists that AQs eventually turn into FAQs)

No big deal. You have an outdated fil which will be removed.
I am getting the following, which I assume are the equivalent:
It isn't.
cvs server: conflict: dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/mutt-ssl-1.3.24i-1.info is modified but no longer in the repository
C dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/mutt-ssl-1.3.24i-1.info
So these shouldn't cause a bad exit.� In the archive, it also says:
No, those messages are different! Yours is "is modified but is no longer in the repository" which is an error. "no longer in repository" (no modified) is fine.
The problem is this:
In normal CVS usage, files are replaced by the version in the repository. If it is no longer in the repository and you didn't change it, CVS removes your local copy. However, you modified mutt-ssl yourself somehow, and CVS is smart enough not to remove a file you modified. Might be something in there you want.
Just rm /sw/fink/dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/mutt-ssl-1.3.24i-1.info
