Bug#1928: /usr/lib/cvs incomplete

Package: cvs Version: 1.6-1 It appears that the cvs binary installation does not install several files in /usr/lib/cvs that are necessary to create the repository. This causes cvs to have incorrect assumptions about the state of the repository when it is first created (per instructions for CVS's d

Re: Bug#1916: perl: wrong entries in Config.pm
