For what ever reason I was not able to downgrade as above. I then 
uninstalled the 0.28.4-1 version and installed the previous one from 
/var/cache/apt/archives#


dpkg -i libneon27_0.28.2-6.1+b1_i386.deb

which was installed OK. Still have the same SVN problem. Is it necessary 
to reinstall subversion or relink it? Shouldnt that work automagically?

Thanks Peter
