Bug Description

Binary package hint: subversion

Given a subversion repository where you do not have read access to the root directory, svn update (when there are updates) fails with a 403 access denied.

In my work environment the subversion repository we use does not allow read access to the root directory.

The upstream bug can be found here:

Is there any chance of some action on this? This is an absolute blocker on my moving to Ubuntu. Even downgrading client to 1.4 would do.

This was fixed in 1.6.11 upstream. I looked and did not find a clear patch to a low risk path, so I don't think we can cherry pick something for Lucid. It'll have to wait for Maverick. Once 1.6.11 gets into Maverick, we can look at backports.

This will be a regression for users that upgrade Hardy -> Lucid, but I don't have a good suggestion on what to do about it in the short term. I don't think it can be fixed before release.

Hello,

  My colleagues at work using Lucid were suffering from this bug when accessing the SVN of a client. So I built maverick's subversion package (1.6.12dfsg-1ubuntu1) for Lucid, and installed it on their machines, and the problem got fixed.

Actually, subversion became obsolete before lucid did.
