cvs import: cannot lstat file : No such file or directory

[melissa . fielding]

Hello,

It's me again!  I'm getting the following errors when I am trying to import
a test repository.  What does lstat mean?  I also noticed that in $CVSROOT
directory there is no 'gnu' directory.  I was looking at the "Where files
are stored within the repository" on page 8 of the CVS manual for CVS
v1.11.2.  Is that needed and if so, where did I miss the step that creates
the directory?

Thanks a lot!!


$ cvs import -m "Junk Test" junk Junk_Dist Junk-Test

N junk/
cvs import: cannot lstat file : No such file or directory

$ cd junk

$ ls

$ cd $CVSROOT/CVSROOT

$more history
