Description jens-heiner.rechtien 2001-09-19 10:57:56 UTC 
Trying to add a directory in installation/setup2/script/linux called 1.1.1 I got
the following error message:

cvs.clt2 add: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You
have an error in your SQL syntax near ')' from cvs server
cvs.clt2 add: warning: unrecognized response `     and HELM_ACTION.NAME =
"VersionControl - Add"' from cvs server
cvs.clt2 add: warning: unrecognized response `     and HELM_ROLE.ROLE_ID ' at
line 9 at /var/svscan/tigris-cvs-pserver/pcheck.pl line 250.' from cvs server
cvs.clt2 add: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_arrayref
failed: fetch() without execute() at /var/svscan/tigris-cvs-pserver/pcheck.pl
line 252.' from cvs server
User hr doesnt have <Add> access to project 1.1.1
cvs.clt2 [add aborted]: there is a version in 1.1.1 already

It seems that for some reason CVS tries to add something to a projet of the same
name as the directory.

Developer Hans-Joachim Lankenau (hjs) had a similar problem yesterday, in that
case I (hr) was able to add that directory. Now I've this problem but Martin
Hollmichel (mh) is is able to add the directory.

I was not able to reproduce this behavior with my account, but it's 
possible that there is another trigger for this defect once one 
already has developer permissions in a project - hr mentioned that he 
previously had been able to add a directory and now can no longer.  

Our engineers are looking at this now.  This has been assigned 
internally as PCN 5769.

This is also being changed to a P2 priority, as this is not a 
critical businees impairment - a workaround is to simply have another 
user create the directories in the meantime.

Update:

Further research has been done on this defect, and we believe it's 
related to a CVS empty perl query that we've seen before in other 
situations.  There is some speculation that an upgrade to version 1.1 
of CVS will fix this - this is going into testing.

Hi,

This may be addressed in the short term by the affected users changing
their passwords, and has worked in other cases of permissioning
problems.
However, we are still looking into the root cause.

Thank you
Kat

We are not able to reproduce this error (neither on SC 1.0.8 nor 1.1).

closing - this one can be reopened if the issue reappears.
