Hi,

as I promised I tried this out on my TS109-II. It should be a reasonable
comparison as both devices use a Marvel based arm compatible CPU. I didn't
get an illegal instruction error when creating the repository but did have
trouble importing. I've not dug into that problem much yet but can if you
wish.

Can you check your package sources against the list below? After running an
ipkg update, ipkg install svn read the following packages in from:

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q1armel/cross/unstable/

svn_1.6.9-1_arm.ipk
neon_0.29.3-1_arm.ipk
libxml2_2.7.7-1_arm.ipk
apr_1.3.12-1_arm.ipk
apr-util_1.3.9-1_arm.ipk
e2fslibs_1.40.3-1_arm.ipk
expat_2.0.1-1_arm.ipk
cyrus-sasl-libs_2.1.23-1_arm.ipk
openldap-libs_2.3.43-1_arm.ipk

if they differ, especially the URL can you try an update or explicitly
downloading the ipk files and installing them directly?

Cheers,
Campbell
