Oh, brother. Given the age of your old software, I'm betting that the
new software has no packages published on your current operating
system, and would involve building a big dependency chain to get it to
install. Been there, done that, and I publish my tools for building
Red Hat compatible versions of current Subversion packages over at
https://github.com/nkadel/. You're welcome to them if you're on a Red
Hat based system of at least RHEL 6, in order to build or package
Subversion 1.8.5 or less.
Otherwise, along with other good advice posted here, be ready to
update your entire Linux operating system to get more recent libraries
for Apache and for Subversion. In fact, I wouldn't even do it on the
same system: I'd start with a clean new system, using "svnsync" to
pull updates from the old system until the switchover.
