Good point. The machine where this is failing is an Ubuntu Intrepid box...

$ dpkg -l libsvn* | grep '^i'
ii  libsvn-perl                                1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2
                Perl bindings for Subversion
ii  libsvn1                                    1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2
                Shared libraries used by Subversion
ii  libsvncpp1                                 0.9.6-1
                Subversion C++ shared library
dpkg -l subversion* | grep '^i'
ii  subversion                                 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2
                Advanced version control system

On the F9 box where things succeed...

$rpm -qa subversion* subversion-perl-1.4.6-7.i386 subversion-1.4.6-7.i386 $ rpm -qa *svn* git-svn-1.6.0.6-3.fc9.i386

What are the versions in that F-10 box? Could it be an incompatibility with svn-1.5.x?

cheers,
