$ svn up ; result: generic-failure

Hi,

The 'svn up' is returning the message:

root@samsumg:/tmp# svn co svn://philer.ucpel.tche.br/trunk/sapu
svn: generic failure


Why this happens?

Thanks!!!

This is some as-of-yet unkown problem with Cyrus SASL.
See http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=131805779110737&w=2

What OS are you running? Which Cyrus SASL version?

Can you please try again with Subversion-1.7.3 (released today)?
It should print a much better error message that might help us to
pin-point the actual problem.

You need to provide a lot more detail than that.

What version of Subversion?
Was the working copy checked out with the same SVN version you're running now?
What OS?
Should you even be operating as root in the first place?
What, if any, troubleshooting/google searching have you done? For
example, is this relevant (first hit on the error message "svn:
generic failure")?
