Trouble connecting to SVN

[Luis Ibanez <luis.ibanez@kitware.com>]

I'm having trouble getting updates from svn.debian.org.

trying to debug it, I replaced -q with -v in the file

                  ~/.subversion/config  

to become:

         ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -v -o ControlMaster=no


then, the command:

                          svn update

returns for me:

OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/ibanez/.ssh/config

debug1: connect to address 217.196.43.140 port 22: No route to host
ssh: connect to host svn.debian.org port 22: No route to host
svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly


the command:

                                     svn info

returns:

pinging the IP number:

                                    ping 217.196.43.140

 returns:

Any hints on what I'm doing wrong ?


     Thanks
