Error on Checkout
Hello,
I just installed Subversion on my Mandrake 9.2 system. When I try a checkout, I
get:
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/pekwm'
svn: The PROPFIND request returned invalid XML in the response: Unknown error.
(/svn/pekwm)
I can't find anything in the manpage or FAQ that resembles this. Any hints?
Thanks!

Some of the xml parsing is handled through apr-util. You might try
upgrading that and apr, otherwise I'm out of suggestions. If you've
got a workaround that should be okay. You could look at svk, and
see if you can checkout onto the debian box, and use svk to check
out from there to the Mandrake one.

Don't take offense, but I'm only trying to get this working try out the latest
Pekwm, it would be easier to wait for the next tarball, and I am sooooo lazy :-)

*That* gave me an idea, so I SSH'd into my Debian box and installed subversion
(required an upgrade of libc6...am I *that* behind??). Ran svn and no problemo.
Downloaded the sources lickety split. Behind the same router/firewall on the
same LAN. I can rule out network probs, I think.
At the very least, I can just grab the sources with my Debian box and move them
to my MDK box.
All this leads me to think that there is a package on my Mandrake system, on
which Subversion depends, which is not...er...dependable. From the error I'm
getting on the MDK box, is there some way I can tell what that package might be?
Thanks very much for your help.

What are the versions of the client and server?
Can you access a local repository successfully?
Can you access other remote repositories successfully?
Can others contact the repository you are trying to access?
