Here is what I did as 'root' (as described in:

there's some repo surgery in progress. it should be fixed eventually.
What exactly does this mean?
It means that something went wrong, and steps were being taken
to fix it. Not very often, cvs has problems and getting good copies
of stuff doesn't work. This is always noticed and repaired fairly quickly.
Also, if a repository is down, people have noticed it and are working
on it, so messages to @misc such as "I can't update from xxx" are
somewhat useless.
The ecosystem for distributing software is not perfect. When you find
a problem, wait, and try again. Repeat if needed.
