But it doesn't appear to have worked. I assure you that error message
means that whatever component is directly reading the repository is
earlier than Subversion 1.4.0, and the only part that should be doing
that in your setup (if you're accessing the repository via http or
https URLs) is mod_dav_svn. Look in your Apache configuration files
and see what mod_dav_svn module is being loaded. Then find that file
on disk and check, for example, its modification date. I believe
you'll find it's old. Put the 1.4.5 module there instead and restart
Apache.

I can't shed any light on the message, but updating Subversion is a
very good idea anyway. You don't want to be running into bugs that
were already fixed years ago. Subversion < 1.3.0 is no longer
supported. See the bottom of:
