>From that output, it looks like you have an entry in $BASEDIR/Cisco/router.db 'cvs;cisco;up' that you need to remove. Check the BASEDIR variable to make sure you are looking in the right place for the router.db file.

Start with your LIST_OF_GROUPS in etc/rancid.conf. Do you you only have one group called "Cisco"?
Then look through your BASEDIR for each GROUP's router.db. The LOGDIR will have logs based on the GROUP. Search (grep) those logs for "cvs" and see if you can tell where this "cvs" is coming from.

Subject: Re: [rancid] Device CVS hasn't been contacted in over 24 hours
Charles,
I am using CVS and also have ViewVC tied in, to allow my GUI-based admins to see color coded changes in the environment. What I am not completely able to resolve is that rancid feels there is a device called "cvs", which there clearly isnt. By performing a grep in the Group directory, I see the following:
rancid at rancid:~/Cisco$ grep -e cvs *
routers.all:cvs;cisco
routers.up:cvs;cisco
However, this device is not configured in routers.db. When I've added cvs;cisco;down to the routers.db file, it will add that route, but will continue to inform me that the original "cvs" is unable to be contacted. I was hoping that someone could provide me some insight into any possibilities. I'm running rancid 3.5 and have stood up many environments and never once ran into this issue. Thanks for all the assistance and please let me know if you have any additional ideas.
Thanks,
Mike

cvs is the name of a process that rancid runs in order to detect and archive changes in configuration files.
Originally, it was called this because the process ran the Concurrent Versioning System which you will find in Wikipedia under CVS (alternatively, google CVS).
Today, rancid's cvs process can use CVS, Subversion or Git. You should be using Git, if you don't know what CVS is.
It looks like you are trying to use CVS but don't have it set up? Hard for me to tell, I only use Git. CVS is ancient.

I've even tried adding the device in router.db as:
cvs;cisco;down
and it still complains about the original mysterious cvs.
