Dear Maintainer,

After the latest Debian update (the new stable release), 
CVS suddenly stopped to function completely for me. 

First, I got an error message about 'rsh' not found (and indeed
there was no 'rsh' in my path despite rsh-client being installed!?)
so I installed rsh-redone-client (rsh-client was already installed).  
Then I got "rsh: No host specified"; I figured rsh-redone-client has
an incompatible API (should then conflict with CVS, right?). 

Anyway, I then uninstalled both rsh implementations and re-installed 
only rsh-client. Unexpectedly, I now did have an 'rsh' binary in my
$PATH.

But, even with that, 'cvs up' now hangs and just outputs 'Connection
timed out'.  This is using the cvs.savannah.gnu.org server.  Note
that from another machine (non-Debian) on the same network, I can
at the same time run the 'cvs up' command against the same server
easily, so this is not actually a network or server situation, but
something about the rcs client (and/or how CVS calls it).

As a result, the package is unusable. (Yes, I also cannot commit.)
