This is a bdb issue. Bdb must have got upgraded along with the slackware
upgrade. But the data was created using old version of bdb.
May be this thread that I found after googling might help:

You you could just dump the data (svnadmin dump) and then load it into a new
FSFS repository. This way it is not dependent on BDB anymore.

This is alright. All the information regarding the directory structure is
within the database.
