New project can't add SVN repository - Ubuntu TRAC 1.6

[Clint Dilks]

Hi

On Ubuntu 24.04 I am trying to create a new TRAC project that will use an SVN repository but not having much luck.  Any help would be appreciated.

When creating a new project, I am prompted for the name and database.  Nothing else.

If I try and add a repository manually, I get The repository type 'svn' is not supported

This led me to posts about svn-bindings but I thihk all need packages are installed and in python3 "from svn import core" works

I also found info about adding svn to trac.ini using the setting below but components doesn't exist in my trac.ini amd adding it doesn't seem to help.  

[components]

tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled

Thanks for any thoughts

Please share your trac.ini and trac.log after adding `[logging] log_level = DEBUG` and retrying it.
How have you installed Trac and Subversion Python bindings?
