This afternoon, when I was updating my pkgsrc with the following command:
"cvs -q up -dP" , my laptop freezed (because of Frozen Bubble). So I
rebooted it the hard way and I decided to run "cvs -q up -dP" again, since
it wasn't finished at the time of the reboot. But after a while I received
the following error: "cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname
(not `X:')
cvs update: when using local access method.
cvs [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: `X:'. "

I can still continue to install software, I just built mc to test it, but
I can't update it anymore by CVS. And when trying to update pkgsrc by
removing pkg_install, fetching pkgsrc.tar.gz, untarring it. I get an
error, when I try "pkg_delete pkg_install", that pkg_install has been
marked not for deletion.

So where it's all down at, I can't update my pkgsrc any more.

That you for your time,
Jasper.
