It seems unlikely that a Debian upgrade could do this, because the
only way to convert a repository is to dump the current repository,
create a new one and then load the dump file.
Try running svnadmin recover /path/to/repos
That should fix the BDB version issue. You can then dump/load if you
want to convert the repository.
