Sorry for ignoring this for so long - for some reason I thought I'd already replied to this message. The reason Subversion throws this error now (as of 1.3.2-5) and not before is that it is using new features of Berkeley DB 4.4. Berkeley DB now wants to know the current directory so it can look for a configuration file there. So arguably the bug is really in libdb4.4, which should fail a bit more gracefully. Either way, I don't think this is something I can easily fix from the Subversion end. Since the bug is now over a month old, can you test to see if it still exists? (I don't use svn-buildpackage; its changelog does not indicate that this issue was fixed, but it may have been.) Feel free to reassign this bug or close it, depending on whether it still exists. Or, let me know, and I can do it. Thanks, Peter
