The implication was that for some reason a Subversion distribution hard-codes the name of the home directory parent path (e.g. "/home"). No problem with my home directories; the arrangement is identical. On both machines my home directory is /data/andy and /home/andy is a symbolic link to /data/andy.

Nope; I installed subversion on Athol yesterday, and I run apt-get
upgrade frequently.
UPDATE - ANOTHER TEST
I used 'tar' to move /data/svn/sample3 - an existing repository - from
Lenny to Athol. Now I can point my browser to http://athol/svn/sample3
and see the usual status screen. For command on Lenny:
* svn info http://localhost/svn/sample3*
The response is:
* Authentication realm: <http://localhost:80> Lenny Subversion Repository
Password for 'andy':
Path: sample3
URL: http://localhost/svn/sample3
Repository Root: http://localhost/svn/sample3
Repository UUID: 4597fcf2-fe51-48c9-8523-ce2dbbdc025c
Revision: 0
Node Kind: directory

*FOr this command on Lenny:

The response is:

But this command on Athol:
*svn info http://localhost/svn/sample3
*gives this error result:
* vn: error while loading shared libraries: libsvn_client-1.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*
*So the problem is in the client, not on the apache server.
And both svnadmin and svn show the same problem.*
=========================================================
FOUND IT!
God knows where it came from, but there was a set of svn* programs in
/usr/local/bin.
Erased them all and now it works.
Thank you very much; this counts as success for today.
