Help upgrading from SVN 1.2 to 1.4 on Debian

[Ron Kim <ro...@e-learnings.co.nz>]

Hi,
 
I'm in the process of upgrading Subversion 1.2 to 1.4 on Debian.
I am quite unexperienced with Linux so please bear with me!
 
According to an internal documentation, version 1.2 had been installed
by
running 'apt-get install -t unstable subversion subversion-tools'.
So I ran 'apt-get -t unstable install subversion subversion-tools' and
the following is the result.
 
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386: Depends: initrd-tools (>= 0.1.63) but it is
not going to be installed
  subversion: Depends: libsvn0 (= 1.4.0-2) but 1.2.0-1 is to be
installed
              Depends: libapr0 (>= 2.0.55) but 2.0.54-5 is to be
installed
              Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be
installed
              Depends: libsvn0 (>= 1.4.0) but 1.2.0-1 is to be installed
  subversion-tools: Depends: python-subversion (>= 1.4) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
 

What is meant by the above message and what actions need to be taken?
 
I've tried running apt-get update. It looks like sources.list is not
that extensive too.
My guess is I need to add some source that has the installation files to
the list.
Am I close at all?
 
Thanks in advance. Any input would be much appreciated!
 

Yours sincerely, 

Ron Kim

Hell, I don't know.  If it were me, I'd simply "apt-get purge
subversion", and then build from source.  Are you comfortable doing
that?  It's not that hard.

Hi,

do what it suggests, i.e.

- run "apt-get -f install" (without the " and any further arguments)
- then try to rerun "apt-get -t unstable install subversion subversion-tools"

  If that doesn't help include "initrd-tools" explicitly in your apt-get call:

  apt-get -t unstable install subversion subversion-tools initrd-tools

  BUT: be prepared to get a few additional packages from unstable (because
  of dependencies)

Kind regards,

	Holger
