hi, I was using svn in wheezy and getting this same problem $ svn update svn: generic failure
so I tried to upgrade to sid, and still the bug was there then I noted that /etc/hosts was misconfigured, and that $ hostname -f was failing with message "hostname: Name or service not known" as soon as I corrected it, svn started working fine again currently I am using libsasl2-2 2.1.25.dfsg1-2 libsasl2-modules 2.1.25.dfsg1-2 subversion 1.6.17dfsg-2 a.
