Package: libsvn-core-perl
Version: 1.3.2-3
Severity: normal

To see the problem, download trunk SVK (and install its myriad horde of
dependencies - there are a bunch of new ones since the last Debian svk
package) and run its test suite.  You'll get lots of errors talking about an
invalid const char * argument to svn_fs_node_created_rev.

I tried rebuilding _Fs.so using swig 1.3.25 and then it worked.  This might
be a bug in Swig; I don't know.

What appears to be happening is that a Path::Class::Dir object is being
passed.  Swig wants a const char *.  With another version of swig, magic
happens, and the stringify operator is called to create the desired string. 
With the more recent swig, it doesn't happen.  The generated swig files are
too twisty for me to make a guess at whether the bug is in Subversion or
swig.
