Did you install from the Fedora rpm packages or from somewhere else?
The latest subversion for FC6 would appear to be 1.4.3-2.fc6.  That
rpm requires libcom_err.so.2:

$ rpm -qp --requires subversion-1.4.3-2.fc6.i386.rpm | grep libcom
libcom_err.so.2

Which is provided by e2fsprogs-libs:

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libcom_err.so.2
e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-7.fc6

Has anyone else run into this?

I haven't logged into my FC6 system in a few weeks or so, but svn
worked the last time I tried it, using what I believe to be the
current version.  It is possible some update since then has broken
things and I haven't noticed because I haven't logged in and updated
that system.

But I am curious to see if it isn't something I'm missing.  Its odd
that a RPM dependency would contain an older library.

I think something is amiss on your system, though I'm not sure what
that is.  Do any of the following commands report anything
interesting?

$ rpm -q --requires subversion | grep libcom

libcom_err.so.2

$ rpm -V subversion

nothing

$ locate libcom_err.so.3

nothing

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libcom_err.so.3

no package provides libcom_err.so.3

Also, what's the exact error you get when you run the svn command (and
the command you're running)?

forgot to do this, but from memory...

svn --help

libcom_err.so.3 not found and is required - or something along those lines.

I also ran these:

rpm -qa|grep -i subv
