Typo in the FAQ?

I'm getting the following error which I try to access a repository 
via the web:
	
	[error] [client 128.221.30.88] Could not open the SVN filesystem at /spare/svn/linux-2.4.19  [500, #160029]
	[error] [client 128.221.30.88] (17)File exists: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /spare/svn/linux-2.4.19/db:
	DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery  [500, #160029]


The FAQ at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#db-recover 
says:

	These sometimes mean that a repository administrator should run:
	
	db_recover -ve -h /path/to/repos/db

Yet when I run db_recover:

	db_recover: option requires an argument -- h
	usage: db_recover [-cv] [-h home]

There is no '-e' option to db_recover.

Is this a typo in the FAQ and should read '-vc', has db_recover 
changed, or am I using a non-standard version of the 'libdb2-util'
package?

I'm using libdb2-util 2.7.7.0-8 on Debian unstable.

I'm guessing that the FAQ has a typo in it, but that's just a guess.

   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

if you're using libdb2-util 2.7.7.0-8, that is likely the problem. 
those look like the utility programs for berkeley db 2, whereas we are 
using berkeley db 4.  you likely need the version for berkeley db 4.
