Exactly. It means you have two modules named "y".

Be default, CVS uses it's own dbm emulator that works directly off of
the text file -- there aren't any real database files -- so rebuilding
the modules database doesn't really do anything, not even checking for
duplicate keys.
So, it looks like you *do* have a module named "y"! Check for funny
control characters in CVSROOT/modules or other weirdness.
