This may be the same error Janina reported a bit ago. I was attempting to get the latest speakup from cvs: cvs server: Updating speakup/diff-v25 cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/usr/src/CVS/speakup/diff-v25' (/usr/src/CVS/speakup/diff-v25/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/src/CVS/speakup/diff-v25' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Hope there is a simple fix...
