Last week-end, Peter Palfrader helped me a lot with recovering the
repositiry.
Unfortunately, it has broken again the same way :-(

$ svn up
jerome@svn.debian.org's password: 
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /svn/pkg-emacs/db:
Permission denied

jerome@haydn:~$ svnadmin recover /svn/pkg-emacs
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
svn: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

Help!
