CVS likes to confuse your puny human brain by making options mean different
things depending on where you put them in argv.
If you say 'cvs checkout -d foo', then '-d' is an option to 'checkout', and
it means something different, namely, what directory to check the module out
in.
The oh-so-helpful error message wants you to use 'cvs -d foo checkout' which
specifies the repository.
You may want to read the CVS info pages (in the cvs-doc package) a few times
to get the hang of this.
