You should not be cvs updating only particular directories unless you
know exactly what you're doing, and specifically what you know you're
_not_ getting. pkgsrc uses Makefiles spread all throughout the
pkgsrc directory tree. Try cvs updating the whole tree and see if the
problem you're seeing still persists.
