Version discrepency

[kanupriya pathak]

I have installed SVN 1.8.9 on Debian 7 but the issue is when I try to 
access the repository through 'lynx' there it shows : 
 
*" Powered by Subversion version 1.6.17 (r1128011). "*
 
I am not understanding why is it not showing version as 1.8.9.
 
Please advise.
