Me too actually, but I meant that I didn't have any part of subversion
installed yet. ;-)

RPM hangs up on the apache install because of some date error /
dependency that I can't remember (even with --nodeps).  The latest
Subversion needs apache 2.0.46.  There isn't even an RPM for Apache
2.0.46 at rpmfind (although there is one in the subversion site).

When I realized that I needed to upgrade Apache from 2.0.40 to 2.0.46, I
kinda gave up because it was more work than I wanted to do this weekend.

subversion isn't in the 'package list database' for apt yet.  I did an
apt-get update to freshen my cache first.

thanks Paul for answering, but I think I'm going to try CVS.
