Fresh fink installation on a fresh 10.4 installation.  I'm tracking
stable, but I need to install msmtp and a couple of other packages that
are only available in unstable.  Unfortunately, selfupdate-cvs isn't
working right now:

<SNIP>

Looks new to me too--which should explain why it's not in the FAQ or the
archives.

Actually, it is in the archives, from Oct 2003. I widened the scope of my search slightly and found a response from you that suggested it was a
server problem:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/18422>

I've been poking around in SourceForge's web front end to the repository,
but that's a pain, since I have to search for the files manually.  Is
there a better way to get this package?  (I'd wait for the servers to
settle down, but without msmtp, I can't send mail from my machine, so
there's a little time pressure involved.)

Never mind on the alternative access method -- I seem to have the
unstable finkinfo distribution as well, even though I've never
successfully done a selfupdate-cvs.  I'm not sure where the unstable
tree came from, but I've got what I need, and msmtp is building as I
write this.

Just for completeness - I tried this with the newest /sw/bin/cvs on Panther (ran into the same problem):

% cvs --version

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.20 (client/server)

Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

With this,
the response to selfupdate-cvs is:

Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvsroot/fink
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.
