Package: trac Version: 0.8.1-3sarge5 Severity: serious As you can see below, trac depends on subversion, but this isn't quite true. It depends on the particular version of libsvn0 that stable subversion comes with. If you install a backport subversion, libsvn_swig_py is no longer included in libsvn0, which causes trac to fail. So the reason I'm raising a bug against trac for this, as well mentioning this to backports, is dpkg didn't spot the problem because trac's dependencies aren't strict enough - it doesn't just depend on subversion (>= 1.0.1), it depends explicitly on libsvn0 certainly less than 1.3.2, and probably much less than that.
To reproduce this problem, simply install a backport subversion on a stable system and then try to use trac-admin. I hope that all made sense.
