    You really should upgrade. 9.04 is no longer supported.

    You can try to do apt-get update before installation... But I agree with @Zoredache, you should upgrade as soon as possible.

Ubuntu 9.04 repositories have been burned from the primary Ubuntu mirrors - you will have this same issue with anything you try to install.

To do any installing of packages or to upgrade to a newer release (which you really need to do - that OS you're running hasn't gotten a security update in nearly a year and a half), you must instead use the old releases mirror.

Modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to use these lines instead of the existing ones:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse

Then apt-get update. And really - upgrade.

As has been said in comments, Ubuntu 9.04 is not supported anymore, so you should really think of upgrading.

As for your current issue:

  • Make sure to run apt-get update before you install the package;
  • You are using a PPA (very likely, given the version of libsvn1 it tries to install). Get rid of it and try again.
