While the modules admin has no trouble finding my modules in sites/all/modules/contrib, the Update module just shows

contrib Unknown
Includes: Faq_Ask

I believe I also saw this in 5.6.

Unable to reproduce.

Can you provide more details, including the exact content of the .info file and file locations?

You're deploying from CVS and not using http://drupal.org/project/cvs_deploy. CVS deploy is required if you deploy from CVS and want the update status module to work. I finally got the changes committed to core's update.module that lets cvs_deploy fix this correctly in the latest version of cvs_deploy. See http://drupal.org/node/184664 and http://drupal.org/node/211403 for more.

Thanks, Derek. I'll look at it.

However, I am not actually deploying from CVS; this module was built on my PC and is being used from the same location that gets committed to CVS. I guess the distinction is immaterial?

@nancyw: Yes, same thing. Either it's a CVS workspace, or you download a tarball from d.o. If it's a tarball, the .info files have everything they need. If it's a CVS workspace, you need cvs_deploy.

Oh, wow! This looks like it might even help keep me from committing on the wrong branches. Fabulous!
