Package: subversion Version: 1.4.6dfsg1-2 Severity: normal Apparently svnadmin recover must be run as an appropriate user, not root. I ran it as root and things stopped working. The top level directories were still all www-data, so I didn't realize what had happened until later.
chown -R www-data /path/to/repos fixed the problem. I'm also not sure if restarting apache is necessary; I did so. It might be worth mentioning the ownership and apache restart issues in the NEWS.Debian (that is, even if apache doesn't need to be restarted, that would be useful info). I realize not everyone runs it with apache or runs apache as www-data (or uses bdb). Perhaps everyone should know about the ownership issues; I didn't! Also, the NEWS file was not displayed or emailed to me by apt-listchanges. I don't know why; I've seen this problem with other packages because of subtle formatting issues with NEWS.Debian. Perhaps the lack of a "*" before the news item makes a difference? I do get other NEWS. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii libapr1 1.2.11-1 The Apache Portable Runtime Librar ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsvn1 1.4.6dfsg1-2 Shared libraries used by Subversio subversion recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
