What was the status of card.{dvi,ps}? Was there a conflict too?
I noticed that cvs log contains
"keyword substitution: kv"
which should probably be changed into binary mode using

cvs admin -kb card.{dvi,ps}
cvs update -A card.{dvi,ps}

The explicit option -A is required to force a rewrite without keyword
substitution in the local filesystem (does not happen by default as the
content did not changed).

Did you replaced all files in the working copy or only conflicting ones?
As this problem happened already short time ago I'm sure there will
be more conflicts once other files get changed if the initial checkout
happened with an older CVS client.

PS: I noticed this problem because the translation statistics were wrong
again and I remember Helge reporting it the last time.
