Failed: Downloading package descriptions from CVS failed.
Hard to know for sure without seeing what is in /tmp.
"ls -l tmp" gives me the following:
root# ls -l /tmp lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 13 5 Jul 14:08 /tmp -> /private/tmp/
To see what is in /tmp, use "ls -l /tmp/" or "ls -l /private/tmp"
and "ls -l /private/" is:
ls -l /private/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 95 root wheel 3230 5 Jul 13:56 etc drwxrwxrwt 8 root wheel 272 5 Jul 14:22 tmp drwxr-xr-x 19 root admin 646 5 Jul 11:29 var
I'm not sure what is wrong, or how I should fix it. The file permissions seem OK (though I'm not really sure what the sticky-bit on /private/tmp will do).
See 'man 2 chmod' for a description of the 'sticky' bit.
These permissions match what I see on my system. I would not change anything here; the problem is likely related to what is in /tmp (and the user id of the running 'cvs' command).
Regards,
Justin
