You're trying to update from a different repository to the one you
originally used aren't you?  It seems you had a tree checked out from
cvs.lyx.org and now you want to update it from cvs.sylvan.com instead.

You need to replace every CVS/Root file with one that has:

:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/lyx

instead. Or at least some variation on that which you should be able to
figure out from what's already in those files.  Fortunately,  all these
files have the same contents.

The other way to "fix" this is to checkout a new copy from kayvans site.
