Bug Description
In hardy-backports current version of subversion is 1.5.1dfsg1-
Support for svn 1.5 is added in a much later version of kdesvn. From the upstream changelog:
version 1.0.0: * integrated direct support for subversion 1.5
Currently it causes these problems:
A lot of unicode related error message boxes:
"Invalid UTF-8 data
...
(hex: b0 76 47 08)"
When trying to commit kdesvn crashes.
Eg. with hardy-backports enabled fully kdesvn is useless.
I would suggest updating kdesvn in hardy-backports to the version currently in debian unstable (1.0.4-2). This would fix at least: bug 250544 , bug 268112 , bug 277049
I've done a test build of 1.0.4-2 against hardy-backports and kdesvn runs perfectly. The test build can be found here: http://

Marking Incomplete. Please realize that states of bugs have a specialized meaning for backports. Marking High since package is completely unusable with backports repo enabled.
Under normal circumstances, we only backport packages from Ubuntu releases, although in some rare cases, we have bent this rule (i.e. KDE 3.5.10). I might consider this backport request if its essential that we fix this now. Since jaunty still won't be open for some time, I will talk with the other backports on doing this backport.
