Comment 62 for bug 294648

on 12.04 symlinking libneon ::

  cd /usr/lib
  sudo mv libneon-gnutls.so.27 libneon-gnutls.so.27.old
  sudo ln -s libneon.so.27 libneon-gnutls.so.27

no longer works

so i took libneon from oneiric,from here

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/libneon27/0.29.5-3

installed it ::

  dpkg -i libneon27_0.29.5-3_i386.deb

and set to hold to prevent it getting updated ::

  echo libneon27 hold | dpkg --set-selections

the symlink might still ned resetting from time to time
maybe setting LD_PRELOAD ::

  alias svn='LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libneon.so.27 svn'

in .bashrc might be better than
