P.S. What I have to use to /etc/hosts is:
127.0.0.1 ubuntu
(where before or after 'ubuntu' other host names may appear as well).

Yes, the error message generic failure is pretty shitty (reminds of
MickeySoft).
Indeed, the message should be made to the point, or much better:
the strange dependency on /etc/hosts should be removed.
I'm using svn version 1.6.17 (r1128011) of Ubuntu 12.04.

I also had this problem today. Solution was also edition /etc/hosts. I
think there should be a better error message which points to the problem
in name resolution...

Yeah, this turned out to be a really silly and simple issue.
I had changed the hostname of my machine, but had neglected to update
the /etc/host file with the new hostname. Once I did that, my problem
went away.

Yes, that was my problem as well, the host name and the host name in the
/etc/hosts were wrong.
