unknown capability: depth ?

Hi,

I am using svn 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.04 against most likely an older server, and when I try to checkout, I get the following terse message:

svn: Unknown capability : depth

Running with svn 1.4.2 on another machine works well.

What's exactly the problem? Is there a workaround such that I could still use 1.5.4 ?

Thanks in advance.
