Trying to get subversion server running

[Ragnvald Rundberg]

Hi. I changed package settings to lede (https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-opkg.html) and was able to install subversion server and client.
However, when i try to create a repository i get this error message:
svnadmin create repos

svnadmin: E000017: Can't open file 'repos/db/txn-current-lock': File exists

I guess it has to do with user rights. The Omega seems to be creating folders as "root", I guess svn does not use this.
Or am I wrong? How do I continue?
Anyone successful with setting up subversion and?
