I installed at the first time giving
#apt-get install subversion
The contents of the "sources.list" file at that time was
--------------------------
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org ./
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://people.debian.org/~adconrad woody subversion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO I got only subversion 1.0 installed
When I went to the download of Site of Subversion at
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html
It said that the best version is 1.1.2 and development in the 1.0 line
is not active now :)
So I went to the subversion mailinglist and posted this problem and
they gave me two urls which I added into my source list
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main
contrib non-free
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and when I give
#apt-get install subversion
debian says "I have the latest version installed already?
what should I do?

The problem is I don't know how to compile from source :))
Thankyou so much for helping me out :))
Do you have other comments on this particular situation?
Kind Regards
