wierd BDB version missmatch

[Sean Farrell <se...@baw.de>]

Hi I have a litle wierd problem. 

The error message is : 

svn: bdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version

But I got this since I started using svn on this computer. I use it
localy and it ends up on a file server. But I am the only user of this
repository. 

To fix the problem I fire up a svnadmin recover and It works fine for
say 2-3 actions and then the error message pops up again. 

I have of cource googled to find a solution but they all talk about
version missmatch after upgrading. Also none of the proposed solutions
helped. I am only using the svn on this computer and repository since 3
weeks. 

Thanks in advance

Sean

I had the same problem and found that someone else had posted his fix, which 
seemed to work for me (with a slight variation).   I am using Gentoo which 
updated the DB to 4.2, from 4.1 and apparently the update confuses the heck 
out of the system. Do Max's solution only change

db_dump changes.old | db_load changes
 to
db4.1_dump changes.old | db4.2_load changes

Also after doing all this, I'd restart the system to be sure that everything 
is using the db4.2 stuff.

Mine's now worked with 2 commits in a row without recorrupting the database. 
(wow)

Good luck.

Bizarre. It shouldn't even be possible to get into this situation
without
something doing some bizarre manipulation of the db files.

Anyway, here's something to try:

FIRST, MAKE A BACKUP.
Do not even consider trying out the below without first making a copy of
the
repository.

Now, make sure you have db_dump.exe and db_load.exe available. Then, cd
to c:/Subversion/repository/db and try the following: (Omit the lines
referring to locks and lock-tokens if you are using
Subversion 1.1.x or earlier.)

erase log.* __db.*

rename changes changes.old
rename copies copies.old
rename nodes nodes.old
rename representations representations.old
rename revisions revisions.old
rename strings strings.old
rename transactions transactions.old
rename uuids uuids.old
rename lock-tokens lock-tokens.old
rename locks locks.old

db_dump changes.old | db_load changes
db_dump copies.old | db_load copies
db_dump nodes.old | db_load nodes
db_dump representations.old | db_load representations
db_dump revisions.old | db_load revisions
db_dump strings.old | db_load strings
db_dump transactions.old | db_load transactions
db_dump uuids.old | db_load uuids
db_dump lock-tokens.old | db_load lock-tokens
db_dump locks.old | db_load locks

svnadmin recover ..
svnadmin verify ..
