Can't do anything with subversion

Hi,

I had some issues trying to install knetworkmanager and following this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29784 I found out there is problem on x86_64 that seems to be fixed in the svn version. I downloaded the tarball from AUR and used pacman to download subversion, which is a dependency for knetworkmanager-svn.

Problem is I can't do anything. A simple svn help outputs this:

[leandro@note-leandro ~]$ svn help
svn: Can't open file '/home/leandro/.subversion/servers': Not a directory
[leandro@note-leandro ~]$

The only file I have related to subversion in my home folder is ~/.subversion (which is not a directory, it is an empty file)

I even tried compiling from source, but the error remained. Here is my PKGBUILD for subversion:

# SVN Version control system
# Contributor: me
pkgname=subversion
pkgver=1.4.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="SVN Version Control System"
arch=('x86_64')
url="http://subversion.tigris.org"
license=('unknown')
depends=('apr' 'apr-util' 'neon' 'zlib')
makedepends=()
provides=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=("http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2")
noextract=()
md5sums=('de0e792c9804c7bce397d267af5eb30d')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Don't know what else to do. Couldn't find anything on google either.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

try deleting that .subversion file.
a newer version of subversion is probably trying to create a directory there, but cannot...because it is a single file.

Thanks!! Working now!

Silly mistake, but was giving me a headache!
