OMG! There are times where packages are just not it. Does this mean that you
now can't run svn at all? If you somehow get access to your repos again
consider installing SVN from source. Here (FreeBSD 5.4) it runs out of the
box with things some of us could type while sleeping:
svnadmin dump myrepo > myrepo.dump
tar jxf subversion-1.2.0.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.2.0
./configure (with no options this will install fsfs backend only)
gmake
su
gmake install
mv myrepo myrepo_bdb
svnadmin create myrepo
svnadmin load myrepo < myrepo.dump
If it works on RH3 I don't know but it is fast to try.
If you want to keep your old installation run ./configure with --prefix=....
and type full pathnames to svn-commands. Does not interfere with anything.
You are over all this these headaches with versions of Berkeley - which BTW is
mighty fine stuff...

I just converted our 30 repos (ok, the fsfs gang got me at last) and not a
single blip. Hat off for the svn-devs.
