amd64: subversion_1.3.2-5~bpo1 broken(?)

["Daniel Franke" <franke.daniel@gmail.com>]

Hi all.

I tried to upgrade svn-1.1.4 (sarge) to 1.3.2-5 (sarge-backports). Due
to incompatibilities this doesn't work:

$> sudo apt-get install -t sarge-backports libsvn0=1.3.2-5~bpo1
subversion=1.3.2-5~bpo1
[messages snipped]
Unpacking libneon24 (from .../libneon24_0.24.7.dfsg-2_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package libsvn0.
Unpacking libsvn0 (from .../libsvn0_1.3.2-5~bpo1_amd64.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package subversion.
Unpacking subversion (from .../subversion_1.3.2-5~bpo1_amd64.deb) ...
[more messages snipped]

$> svn --version
svn: error while loading shared libraries: libneon.so.24: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The amd64 version of subversion can not use libneon for i386. Judging
from the ChangeLog of unstable, this may have been fixed in
subversion_1.3.2-6.

As shown above, I only have sudo privileges, thus fixing this won't be
easy as I am not used to debian/apt-get.

Is there an easy workaround for this? If not, any suggestions I could
follow (besides getting the source, building on my own and messing
with the system)?

Thanks in advance.
