The package is called subversion Install subversion (abbreviated svn). You've to install it by running:

sudo apt-get install subversion

This package contains the svnserve daemon too (not started by default). If you want to host a subversion server over HTTP, you must install apache2 and configure it accordingly.

There is a little twist. You say you try svn update but the code shows svn upgrade which fails, then you say "so i tried svn upgrade".

My gut says you have a working copy on version 1.7 copied from somewhere and version 1.6 of subversion can't cope with it. The simplest solution would be to svn checkout a fresh working copy from the repository.

If you really need to downgrade your working copy from 1.7 to 1.6, then you have a problem, I am afraid.

The APR is a general purpose library that was developed for the Apache http server, but it is used by all subversion programs. Therefore you need to install it in order to build any subversion software. libapache-svn is a different matter.
