[Bug 878488] Re: Any commands on svn:// repo returns "svn: generic failure"

[dvo]

Yes, the error message "generic failure" is pretty shitty (reminds of
MickeySoft).

Indeed, the message should be made to the point, or much better:
the strange dependency on /etc/hosts should be removed.

I'm using svn version 1.6.17 (r1128011) of Ubuntu 12.04.

Bug description:
  When I try to run a command on an SVN repository, list as 'list', it
  just returns a generic failure. Cursory Google search results point to
  an issue with libsasl2-2.
