Why am I having a problem cleaning up svn?

Please help me with the problem:

build@subversion:~> find /home/build/cruise-work/cruise-checkout/30.0/ | grep rep-cache.db
build@subversion:~> cd /home/build/cruise-work/cruise-checkout/30.0/
build@subversion:~/cruise-work/cruise-checkout/30.0> svn cleanup
svn: E200031: sqlite[S8]: attempt to write a readonly database
svn: E200031: Additional errors:
svn: E200031: sqlite[S8]: attempt to write a readonly database
build@subversion:~/cruise-work/cruise-checkout/30.0>

EDIT1:

build @subversion: ~ / cruise-work / cruise-checkout / 30.0> chmod g + w rem-cache.db chmod: unable to access `rep-cache.db ': no ​​such file or directory

EDIT2:

I don't have a rep-cache.db file:

> sudo find / | grep rep-cache.db root password:
> /usr/src/subversion-1.8.11/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/rep-cache-db.sql
> /usr/src/subversion-1.8.11/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/rep-cache-db.h

this is caused by incorrect file permissions on the SVN server.

The "rep-cache.db" file will most likely have the wrong permissions, such as a group not having write access to the file.



A simple chmod g + w on the file will be enough to keep the error message from appearing again.

Often times these problems arise because you are not running svn commands as superuser. So just add sudo to the commands and try this.

Things seemed to be a mess for me after I recursively changed directory permissions and transferred ownership to another user. I am assuming that the .svn directories are now owned by this other user and I did not have permission to change them. Using sudo

, just for cleaning, solved the problem.

sudo svn cleanup
