Recently, a CVS update of one of our modules brought in a file that
has been removed for more than a year, and now I am unable to get rid
of it. When I try to commit the removal of the file, I get a "failed
to remove tag" error message:

$ cvs status PriceGuideListContainer.java
=========================================================
File: no file PriceGuideListContainer.java              Status: Locally Removed

   Working revision:    -1.15
   Repository revision: 1.15   
/cvs/CVS_REPOSIT/<blah>/PriceGuideListContainer.java,v
   Sticky Tag:          HEAD (revision: 1.15)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

$ cvs commit -m "" PriceGuideListContainer.java
cvs commit: failed to remove tag `HEAD' from `PriceGuideListContainer.java'
$

We were running CVS 1.11 until I ran into this problem. I've since
updated the server and client to 1.11.20, but I still cannot commit
this file to get rid of it.

Does this look like corruption? I also tried running the check_cvs
script from the 1.11.20 installation, but it fails with this message:

$ check_cvs
Unable to read checkoutlist file: No such file or directory
$
