Package: subversion
Version: 1.10.3-1+b1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Apparently, subversion (or some of the libraries it uses) no longer
support TLS 1.0. When I try to connect to a server that supports TLS 1.0
only, I get the following error message:

> LANG=C svn update
Updating '.':
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL […]
svn: E120171: Error running context: An error occurred during SSL
communication

It took me a while to find out that this was a TLS version problem. The
subversion client should give an error message that clearly indicates
that the problem is lack of client support for TLS 1.0 during an attempt
to connect to a TLS 1.0-only server.

That would be OpenSSL -- see /usr/share/doc/libssl1.1/NEWS.Debian.gz.  I
would suggest installing apt-listchanges and configuring it to show you
the NEWS entries when upgrading.

This was discussed upstream[0] and their FAQ[1] and release notes[2]
were updated with hints about potential issues around this.

Subversion itself can't really provide much more information.  It's
multiple layers removed from the original error, and _is_ relaying the
information that bubbled up through those layers.
