Right.

It does:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous AT www DOT micq DOT org:/var/lib/cvs up
? prepare.new
P AUTHORS
P ChangeLog
P doc/micqrc.5
cvs server: cannot open directory /var/lib/cvs/micq/doc/html: No such file or directory
cvs server: skipping directory doc/html
P include/datatype.h
P lang/.cvsignore
...

Charles, if you could check this. Here it's 100% reproduceable.

And a cvs co doesn't work:

According to http://www.micq.org/download.shtml.en I do

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous AT www DOT micq DOT org:/var/lib/cvs co micq
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository

Now I try another repository:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous AT anoncvs DOT gnome DOT org:/cvs/gnome co mc
U mc/.cvsignore
U mc/AUTHORS
...

Rico, are you using CVS 1.11.4 ? And what version were you
using before you migrated the server ?
