Re: Slow VM, svn client drops connection with FIN packet

If someone can point me at a Ubuntu-compatible package, I'm more than happy
to upgrade. Last time I looked (within the last two months) I was unable to
find anything later than what I'm running. I'd rather not spend the time
compiling from source if I can avoid it.

Please elucidate "capture traces". I already have a Wireshark capture of
the failure. I see exactly what the poster saw: the client drops the
connection with an unexplained [FIN, ACK].

This is easily recreated for me: I run this update once a morning, and see
the failure about 3 days out of 5. I've been working with my internal IT
group, but they haven't been able to help much. They did have me add
'http-timeout = 180" to the .subversion/servers [global] section; this cut
down the failures to about 1 out of 5 days.

Agreed; getting the bug fixed is the victory. However, this is clearly two
bugs: 1) the error message is wrong, 2) the client is dropping the
connection. Those need to be in the bug database unless they are already
present, or already fixed. Neither seemed to be the case when I posted.
