$ svn update
svn: XML parser failed in ''
svn: Date conversion failed
$

strace gives me:

open(".svn/entries", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="ut"..., 8192) = 4849
read(3, "", 3343)                       = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x80b9000

Because google is such verbose (not!) I had to edit ~/.svn/entries manually. Seems to be a bug in libexpat1 (or at least in debian’s one). Grml.
