>Description:
Running cvsup this morning (27 June 2000) on a 3.4 system 
(last cvs update about two weeks ago) deletes the softupdate
sources from /sys/contrib.  The symlinks to them from /sys/ufs/ffs
are retained, which then causes make world to fail, since there
are no sources for softupdates in /sys/ufs/ffs, but merely dead
symlinks.
>How-To-Repeat:
Ran cvsup on another, similar machine an hour later; same result.

>Fix:
I deleted the symlinks and copied the files from another system into 
/sys/ufs/ffs; make world then runs, and result appears to be OK.

 Correction of my last reply:
 
 There was a HEADS UP about softupdates some days ago (sent by John
 Polstra), which confirms, that it deletes the files.
