Hi all,

I've just set up a system with Ubuntu Server on it, and I'm trying to install subversion, however when I try to run:

sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn

I get:

E: Couldn't find package subversion

I've uncommented all the URLs in /etc/apt/sources.list, and run apt-get update. apt-cache search finds nothing if I look for subversion, although it will find stuff if I look for, say, apache. Proxy and network settings are all fine as far as I can tell.

When I run apt-get update, it gives me quite a few errors though - a stream of '... is not a bzip2 file' messages at the start, then a lot of stuff fails to be fetched with this message:

Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)

Any suggestions? I need to get a subversion server up and running

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Problem resolved. The apt-cache stuff was (perhaps unsurprisingly) just uninstalled or existing software off my Ubuntu disk. The issue was an authentication problem on my network; resolved that and apt-get update runs fine.

Thanks.
