When I occasionally run into bizarre weirdness like this, I usually wait |

Significant updates to the CVS tree are not atomic and every now and |
| 21 |
then you can do a sync while a dev is making his own updates. Especially |

If you use a third party tree mirror, you can also update against the |
| 25 |
master at rsync.gentoo.org to get the very latest tree. |
