Thanks, fixed.

(I still get an error after the fix, but the error is a different one,
so I presume it's unrelated.)

When trying to list CVS entries using the pcvs builtin package,
for instance by means of the C-u <return> on any CVS directory
in a dired buffer, the following error message comes out:

cvs-fileinfo-from-entries: Invalid time zone specification: utc

The issue can probably be tracked down to the use of 'utc as third
argument of format-time-string at line 468 of pcvs-info.el.  Afaik,
the semantics of this argument have been changed in July 2015.

Thank you in advance for your attention,
ICB
