Error E145001

Hello,
I am trying to remove symbolic link that is currently under version control but with keeping it in the file system. I try to do it like this:
svn delete --keep-local xyz

When now trying to commit this change, I get following error:
svn: E145001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E145001: Entry 'xyz' has unexpectedly changed special status

svn --version
svn, version 1.7.14 (r1542130)

Is this a bug or just wrong approach?
Thanks for help,
Dan

Hi Brane,
thank you for quick response.
Unfortunately I cannot update to newer Subversion.
I have removed it without the --keep-local parameter

Thanks,
Dan

It's a bug in a version of Subversion that's far too old. You really
should upgrade if you can; 1.7.x and 1.8.x are no longer supported.

It works with 1.11:

$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn co file://$(pwd)/repo wc
Checked out revision 0.
$ ln -s foo wc/bar
$ svn add wc/bar
A         wc/bar
$ svn ci -mm wc
Adding         wc/bar
Transmitting file data .done
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 1.
$ svn rm --keep-local wc/bar 
D         wc/bar
$ svn ci -mm wc
Deleting       wc/bar
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 2.
$ svn st wc
?       wc/bar
$ ls -l wc
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 brane  staff  3  6 Nov 15:36 bar -> foo
