I try to install subversion 1.7 on debian jessie
1) First I follow this tutorial to add SVN 1.7 to my debian package list http://sagar.se/svn-1.7-on-wheezy.html
2) After that I enter the following command to check if Version 1.7 is available.
apt-cache show subversion

3) Try to install Version 1.7
apt-get install subversion=1.7.18-1+WAN-disco

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
subversion : Depends: libsvn1 (= 1.7.18-1+WANdisco) but 1.8.10-6 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
With apt-cache I see that libsvn1 is installed in version 1.7.18-1+WANdisco. How can I fix the problem, that debian see only the version 1.8.10-6?
Update:
I try the following
apt-get install subversion=1.7.18-1+WANdisco libsvn1=1.7.18-1+WANdisco

As you could see in the blog, the packages were made for Debian wheezy, where only version 1.6.17 was included. For Debian jessie, I think you should stay with the version 1.8 available from the system.
