That is seriously broken. Subversion advises not to use 4.1 because of issues
that lead to corruption. If your packages link against that, you are better
advised to get different packages or compile them yourself using only 4.2 in
the same version that Apache uses.

Not sure, but if I were you, I'd dump the repository with a working version.
The reason is that even if Subversion does not change its BD layout, the
format of BDB could have changed between 4.1 and 4.2. There might be
upgrade-tools, but I'm not sure about that.
