Upgrade from SVN 1.3 to 1.4, problem with client?

Hi,

I'm running debian and just upgraded from subversion 1.3 to 1.4 via the 
standard:

apt-get install subversion

I appear to be having problems with the new client not understanding the 
new 1.4 repository format.  I've included a session that I've run below 
that demonstrates the problem.  As far as I can tell, the client doesn't 
like the version '5' database format (I am assuming that's the new 1.4 
format).  According to all of the FAQ's and googling, if the client is 
1.4, it should.  According to svn --version, the client is 1.4.
Any clues as to what is wrong?

Thanks

-Mike

The client is not the one reading the repository; the server is.  
Since you seem to be using Apache 2 to serve your repository, have  
you also remembered to upgrade your mod_dav_svn to 1.4? It sounds  
like that may be the problem.
