Working from several day old memory (notoriously unreliable), I had a
similar problem on Redhat 9.0
sudo rpm -Uvh subversion.mumble (from the page you posted)
unresolved dependencies (perl-something).
So I tried yum instead (HIGHLY recommended; google duke and yum)
sudo yum install subversion
resolving dependencies... (several)
done
MUCH better! I believe the version installed though is somewhat old, and
didn't realize I should use it only to download a later one. Once I did
that it worked flawlessly.
PS: Why perl? I thought only python was involved.
