APR is a low level cross platform C API. The Apache HTTP server is one
consumer of this API, Subversion is another. In other words, in this case
APR is an essential part of Subversion that has nothing to do with the HTTP
server. So, no, there is no way to not use APR. You could build Subversion
from source yourself. It is quite easy. Just download the tarball and the
dependencies and run configure with the right options and make. We have
some of this in our FAQ in terms of the javaHL aspects. I have built it on
Ubuntu many times.
There is nothing fundamentally preventing it from working on Ubuntu, this is
purely an issue with how someone built the RPM.
