ViewVC "Format Error"

[David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>]

I know this isn't necessarily the best place for this question.
However, I am unable to get help elsewhere with this issue.

I have RedHat installed, using Subversion 1.5, and ViewVC that I
downloaded from Viewvc.org. I had setup viewvc to work with my
Subversion repository back when I was using Subversion 1.4. When I
updated to Subversion 1.5, everything seemed fine. However, I've
created a new repository, and when I attempt to access this
repository, I get the following error:

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.0.5/lib/viewvc.py", line 3766, in main
    request.run_viewvc()
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.0.5/lib/viewvc.py", line 256, in run_viewvc
    cfg.general.svn_path)
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.0.5/lib/vclib/svn/__init__.py", line 606,
in __init__
    self.repos = repos.svn_repos_open(rootpath, self.pool)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libsvn/repos.py", line 53, in
svn_repos_open
    return apply(_repos.svn_repos_open, args)
SubversionException: ("Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'", 160043)

Yes, I know what is causing the error. My new repository is in 1.5
format while my other repositories are in 1.4 format. However, I will
have to upgrade my other repositories to full 1.5 format sooner or
later anyway. Besides, I want to get things working with this new
repository.

So, how do I get viewvc working with my new repository which is in 1.5
format. Do I have to upgrade Python (specifically the libsvn
directory)? Do I need to upgrade viewvc? Is there a configuration file
that I am missing. Something to point to the new Subversion API?

I've search around for this issue (I've found other questions on the
same issue, but no reply). Any ideas?
