Yah, I see that.  The error log shows multiple "ImportError: No module
named _pysvn".  I'll continue to track this down, first things that come
to mind are: "did the pysvn-1.5.2-drop-version.patch mess the tests up?"
--or-- "putting the test in %check somehow changed the expected enviro."

The package works as expected other-wise.  I installed it on my home
machine and was able to do a quick test by checking something out.  I
know that the _pysvn module connects to _pysvn.so, so I'll start
there...
