RapidSVN currently broken in Ubuntu Repository

The current package for RapidSVN segfaults constantly with the current version (as of today’s date) in the Hardy Heron repos. To fix this:

  • Grab the Intrepid Ibex package by editing: /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Do a search and replace: “hardy” for “intrepid”.
  • Update your packages and reinstall RapidSVN.

You can do this from the GUI side with gedit and synaptic. From the command line:

sudo -s
vim /etc/apt/sources.list

in vi:

:%s/hardy/intrepid/gi
:wq!

command line:

apt-get update
apt-get install rapidsvn

At this point, you should switch back to the hardy repos by editing sources.list and re-replacing intrepid for hardy.
