Hi! Due to administrative work on alioth.debian.org (see [1][2][3][4] for Details), usage of the subversion repository has changed slightly. If you have a checkout, a "svn update" will not work, as the ssh-Keys have been changed. That looks more or less the following way: alex@rusalka:~/debian/events/debconf/debconf-data$ svn update svn: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file. svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly To get that fixed, easiest method is to try "ssh svn.debian.org" or svn.alioth.debian.org depending on which name you used on your initial checkout; you can check that with "svn info": alex@rusalka:~/debian/events/debconf/debconf-data$ svn info|grep URL URL: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debconf-data So let's try "ssh svn.debian.org": alex@rusalka:~/debian/events/debconf/debconf-data$ ssh svn.debian.org @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The RSA host key for svn.debian.org has changed, [..] Add correct host key in /home/alex/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/alex/.ssh/known_hosts:22 [..] The "Offending key" line is the important line. The number behind the colon tell's you, in which line of your .ssh/known_hosts the key of the old alioth system is being stored. Open that file, and remove that line (e.g. vim ~/.ssh/known_hosts :22 dd esc:wq). You might need to repeat that (I had the key in my known_hosts twice). But at one point, you'll be asked, if you want to connect and to add the new fingerprint: alex@rusalka:~/debian/events/debconf/debconf-data$ ssh svn.debian.org The authenticity of host 'svn.debian.org (217.196.43.140)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 8c:c0:b8:9f:0a:79:ee:1c:77:c4:b8:a1:70:55:b7:31. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Check, if the fingerprint matches with this one. After that, type "yes", and your password / ssh-key passphrase and you should see a shell. Log off, and svn should work as you was used to. Note: I heard, that password based authentication has been disabled, and you need to use an ssh key. I haven't checked that myself, but if you don't have an ssh-key, and it doesn't work with your password, please read http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH#Installing_SSH_keys. Creating a key and submitting it to alioth is quite easy.
