Drop the '*' and try again (leave the trailing slash prior to the '*',
of course).  It looks like you're running into the bug that affects
multiple-sources combined with --delete (which is mentioned in bugzilla
along with the patch that went into CVS to fix it).  If so, the failure
symptom is not one I have seen before (it more typically crashes with a
signal).
