I cleaned up ex-vi.  As I am sure Angel pointed out to you already, you 
only need to add the PKGBUILD, install file, Changelog and any patches 
to cvs.  You do not need to add the package.

My guess is both you and another TU tried commiting to cvs at the same 
time.  Try uploading again.

Thank you, he pointed that out now. The error concerning fotoxx goes
somewhat deeper. I was not able to update it, I even got a similar
message if I try a 'cvs remove fotoxx-5.3-1.pkg.tar.gz'. 

Sorry for all that. I added the sentences "Build files are files
necessary to build the package, not the package itself. Do not add any
*.pkg.tar.gz-files." to the Wiki, because this was the misleading part
of the
Wiki for me.
