Public bug reported: Binary package hint: subversion
Upgraded from Jaunty to karmic last week, and using subversion now for the first time since that upgrade. It seems in some strange way the subversion client is now bound to gnome functionality for authenticating against servers and does use the authentication tokens alsready stored in my subversion config directory anymore, instead asking for some gnome "apps" keyring password, which I seem not to know. It looks like this: usern...@myhost:/path/to/workdir$ svn status -u Password for 'apps' GNOME keyring: svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.project.org/svn/path/to/repository': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://svn.project.org) The client worked perfectly and for many months before this happened. While it might be not a too bad idea to use gnome keyring in general, I see it as a failure that svn does not revert to the "usual" authentication methods if that fails. That's not O.K., and I'm really in trouble now! $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 ** Affects: subversion (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- svn status -u not working anymore since upgrade to karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481440 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
