Add a file that has the same name as one that has been removed?

[Michael Stammberger]

Hi,

I have to add a file to my repository that has the same filename as a
file that has been removed and stays now in the 'Attic'...

The 'add' command seems to be ok:
cvs add frmStatus.frm (in directory L:\Develop\Projects\VB\IVV\)
cvs server: re-adding file frmStatus.frm (in place of dead revision 1.2)
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add these files permanently

But the 'commit' ends with an Assertion:
cvs commit -m "wrzlbrnft..." frmStatus.frm (in directory
L:\Develop\Projects\VB\IVV\)
RCS file: /develop/projects/VB/IVV/frmStatus.frm,v
done
cvs: commit.c:2056: checkaddfile: Assertion `*rcsnode == ((void *)0)'
failed.
cvs [server aborted]: received abort signal

Then I tried it again with 'commit':
cvs commit -m "wrzlbrnft..." frmStatus.frm (in directory
L:\Develop\Projects\VB\IVV\)
cvs server: cannot add file `frmStatus.frm' when RCS file
`/develop/projects/VB/IVV/frmStatus.frm,v' already exists
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

What should I do?
There is an existing file, but it seems that it's incomplete (because of
the assertion?).
How can I do an 'add' of a new file that has been existing in an earlier
version and was removed then?

Should I rename my new file to avoid these problems or is there a simple
solution for that?

Regards,
