Thanks, yes libaprutil was my issue.   I think that works but now the next step is that subversion does not download.  I think that version 1.14.5 is the latest in that Apache repository.
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.45.99.git' -O http://www.apache.org/dist/subversion/subversion-1.14.0.tar.bz2

That’s it for tonight.  I think there is source at the Apache Archive directory, https://archive.apache.org/dist
I think there is a copy of apr-util there as well.  Everything that uses an apache mirror should also look in the archive so things will gracefully age out?
