Comment (by ballapete):

 Replying to [comment:2 danielluke]:
 > There are darwin 9-16 subversion versions up at
 http://packages.macports.org/subversion/ - so there is something unique to
 your setup that is causing the issue (which may or may not be something we
 can fix in the port).

 Two versions of Berkeley DB installed and the system to make *only one* of
 them available to MacPorts does not work.

 worry about that part.

 There is none. I never needed it for any UNIX tool.
