This is a known issue with the bzr 1.2 installer -- search the mailing
list archives. It wasn't correctly building/installing one of bzr-svn's
dependencies, subvertpy.

I thought this had been fixed, but I could be wrong. Do you have the
latest installer?

Sorry, I don't know anything about bzr-fastimport.

bzr-svn is the current recommended way to interact with svn (well, at
least I figure it is); the installer is just broken.
