Folks,
[ cc'd to JDP, as it might be a CVSup problem ]
I was just in the middle of a CVSup. I keep a checked out copy of
/usr/ports around, but keep local copies of the repositories for
everything else.
On my host, /usr/ports is (or rather, was) a symlink to /local/1/usr.ports.
It's a 3.1-stable host, with softupdates enabled. Based on time stamps
in /usr/obj, the last "make world" was March 30th.
The messages window of the CVSup GUI has just shown;
[...]

Updater failed: ports/sysutils/Makefile: Cannot open: \
No such file or directory
and has stopped.
On investigation, /usr/ports has been removed. /local/1/usr.ports no
longer exists, and the /usr/ports symlink has been replaced with a real
directory, containing sysutils/#cvs.cvsup-10375.288, which is an
empty file.
At the time I had two compiles running out of the ports/ directory (less,
and procmail, so nothing too big), and was receiving mail (sendmail).
System load was about .75 or thereabouts.
I've seen this happen once before, about 10 days ago. At the time I'd done
an "rm -rf *" about five minutes before hand (in another directory) and
had put it down to me being careless about the directory I was in. This
time there's no chance of that, as I wasn't at the keyboard when it
happened.
In the past week I have run CVSup successfully several times without
incident. I'm running cvsup-16.0.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
