It also failed for me on cvs.

I had manually downloaded the kernel update and installed it with rpm.
For cvs I tried asking yum to remove the package then install it.  That
worked well, but I wouldn't want to try it with the kernel!  :-)

I found that cvs was not up-to-date by checking the installed version of
all the packages listed on the legacy download site.  Other latecomers
to the legacy service might need to do the same.
