Bug Description

This issue affects Ubuntu 13.10 (subversion 1.7.9-1+nmu6ubuntu3) and 14.04.1 LTS (subversion 1.8.8-1ubuntu3.1).

When installing subversion via apt-get, no *.so symlinks are created for the libsvn_* libraries: only *.so.1 symlinks are created. In order for the *.so symlinks to be created automatically, libsvn-dev must be installed in addition to subversion.

It seems that the *.so symlinks should have been created when installing the subversion package.

That's standard package practice for shared libraries. The unversioned symlinks are only needed when you're building against the library.
