It seems that you updated your BerkeleyDB libraries from version 4.2
to 4.3. If you're positive you didn't just upgrade some other
software which may have upgraded your BDB, then perhaps you have two
different versions of Subversion installed, linked to two different
versions of BDB, and you somehow started using the other version just
now.

Subversion 1.1.3 is old. The current version is 1.3.0, and you should
upgrade.

As of Subversion 1.2.0, the default repository format is no longer
BDB but FSFS, and FSFS is recommended. Once you get your repository
working again, I'd suggest converting your repository to FSFS and
using that in the future. You avoid any BDB problems that way.

To convert your repository:
