[newbie] Mandrake 9.2 packaging of gCvs

[Guy Rouillier]

I'm having difficulty with the Mandrake 9.2 version of gcvs.  I 
installed both it and the version of cvs that come on the distribution. 
  When I try to set preferences, gcvs complains something like 
"alternate cvs does not support gui redirection".  I remembered from the 
last time I used this reading that gcvs needs a special version of cvs 
that recognizes the --cvsgui option, so that it can capture the output 
from cvs; the package description actually says this.  I looked in the 
detailed description for the Mandrake version of gcvs and saw no cvs 
included there  So I went onto the wincvs site and downloaded the 
version of gcvs I found there (the i386 RPM package).  Sure enough, it 
contains its own cvs, which it installs in /usr/local/bin.  After 
installing this version, it works fine.

Am I doing something incorrectly, or is this a packaging issue I should 
submit as a bug?
