That's pnet 0.5.9 :) .... pnet in CVS always has an odd minor version
When it is released it becomes 0.5.10 and CVS changes to 0.5.11 ...
So this ensures that release versions are never confused with CVS 
compiled versions...

Can you ping subversions.gnu.org ?

To be more accurate , are you using this from a public network or from
inside a college/company/school network ?.. The latter case may have
firewalls or proxies.

Subversions.gnu.org has instructions some firewall avoidance techniques
in their CVS information pages, but proxied systems are almost impossible 
to handle this way.

IIRC ajmitch has debs built daily ... maybe you could pull those and
"alien" them ? (find the 'alien' program for deb->rpm)
