Well, it literally means that there was no Subversion transaction
record present in the database with the key 'fr'. Unfortunately, the
cause of such a problem is impossible to discern without more data.
You say that all of a sudden you started seeing these PROPFIND
problems -- have your repository access patterns changed at all? Did
someone suffer some other type of failure that set this off? Do the
Apache logs yield interesting info? Was someone naughty and ran
'svnadmin recover' on the database while it was still in use? Can you
bypass the bogus revision with 'svnadmin dump' (for example, if the
dump always fails at revision 92, can you run 'svnadmin dump
--incremental -r93:HEAD /path/to/repos')?
