svn / subversion does not print

[gds]

No svn commands print, e.g., "svn help" comes up blank with no errors 
printed. This happened before and I wrote down in notebook "svn needs 
crypto pkg to run...". However, did not write down which "crypto" 
package. Installing the "crypt" cygwin package did not help.

This only started after a cygwin upgrade and reboot. Before that it 
worked fine. Any ideas what I need to do?

Thanks,

My WAG is that you're missing a DLL. Try running "cygcheck `which svn`" 
and look for messages about missing DLLs. If you find any, please report 
back to the list so the setup.hint can be fixed.

Yes, strace and cygcheck both indicate that cygexpat-0.dll is missing 
and should be in /bin. Don't see it there. Just see an "expat" package 
in the installer, no libexpat0 as pointed out here:

http://www.nabble.com/-PACKAGING-ERROR--subversion-1.4.5-2-td16959043.html

Sounds like there is a packaging problem.

Tried going back to svn 1.4.5-1 instead of latest 1.4.5-2 with same result.

I was wrong, there is a libexpat0 (I was looking for "libxpat0"). 
Re-installing
it seems to fix the problem.

Hello,

I know this behaviour when I try to run the non-cygwin version of SVN
(that is, "upstream version") inside of a bash. In most cases, the
commands also block until I stop them with Ctrl+C.

Just a wild guess: Could it be that you have a non-cygwin version in
your path which gets in the way?

Regards,
   Spiro.

Only have the cygwin svn installed.

This shows that the root cause is now fixed:
