cvs [checkout aborted]: head attribute does not match file

cvs [checkout aborted]: head attribute does not match file

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

I'm having a CVS problem with src/gdb/version.in .
My client is red hat linux 8, cvs client 1.11.2.

  % cvs -q -d :pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src -z 9 checkout gdb
  U ...
  U ...
  U ...
  cvs [checkout aborted]: head attribute does not match file for `/cvs/src/src/gdb/version.in,v'

  % cd src/gdb
  % cvs status version.in
  ===================================================================
  File: no file version.in                Status: Needs Checkout

    Working revision:    No entry for version.in
    Repository revision: 1.1063  /cvs/src/src/gdb/version.in,v

  % cvs update version.in
  cvs [update aborted]: head attribute does not match file for `/cvs/src/src/gdb/version.in,v'

  % cvs log version.in
  cvs [log aborted]: head attribute does not match file for `/cvs/src/src/gdb/version.in,v'

Hmm.  I hope this isn't due to my recent update of cvs.

Somebody has already fixed this.

I'm currently seeing the same behavior:

    $ cat CVS/Root
    :ext:jimb@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src
    $ cat CVS/Repository
    src
    $ cvs update
    ? gdb/new-gdbarch.c
    ? gdb/new-gdbarch.h
    ? gdb/new-gdbarch.log

Fixed again, but something very odd is going on.

Did you happen to notice who did the last checkin and when?

I just did a sweep through the repositories, zeroed all of the
fileattrs, and changed the ownership of all of them to anoncvs.  This
shouldn't be strictly necessary but it may help anoncvs users slightly
in the long run.

I didn't see anything in the changes for the new version of cvs which
would account for this behavior but it is fishy that I changed cvs and
people are reporting problems.
