Title:
  svn status -u not working anymore since upgrade to karmic

Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: subversion

  Upgraded from Jaunty to karmic last week, and using subversion now for
  the first time since that upgrade.

  It seems in some strange way the subversion client is now bound to
  gnome functionality for authenticating against servers and does use
  the authentication tokens alsready stored in my subversion config
  directory anymore, instead asking for some gnome "apps" keyring
  password, which I seem not to know.

  It looks like this:

  username at myhost:/path/to/workdir$ svn status -u
  Password for 'apps' GNOME keyring: 
  svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.project.org/svn/path/to/repository': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://svn.project.org)

  The client worked perfectly and for many months before this happened.

  While it might be not a too bad idea to use gnome keyring in general,
  I see it as a failure that svn does not revert to the "usual"
  authentication methods if that fails. That's not O.K., and I'm really
  in trouble now!
