Error fetching packages from CVS

While trying to update packages from the sunsite.dk CVS server, I'm getting the following error: cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/tramp' (/pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/tramp/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/tramp' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Can anyone fix this? It appears that my update from tanko worked without a hitch. TIA, vin
