> cvs up (of url) solved the problem for me.  Sorry for the false alarm.
Simon,
When I try to cvs update either url or w3, for the last (several)
mnths.  I get this message:

   cvs server: Updating .
   cvs server: cannot open directory /cvs/url: No such file or directory
   cvs server: skipping directory 

And no update occurs.  Trying a new checkout gives me
/cvs/url: no such repository.

Maybe I'm using an old address?
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs

That is the one that appears in url/CVS/Root
Ditto w3.
