If all you're interested in is 1.5, you checkout the 1.5.x branch. It's
usually more stable[1] than trunk.

It looks like you've hit bug 96980:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apr-util/+bug/96980
The short answer is that Ubuntu's apr-util has a broken apu-config which
doesn't play nicely with a Subversion build. You may need to build apr
and apr-util from source. Just download the latest releases from
apr.apache.org, and drop them in the apr and apr-util directories
underneath the root of your Subversion working copy.
Oh, and you may need to do the same for neon, since recent versions of
Ubuntu have the same problem with neon.
Hope that helps,
