The "gdbm" and "md5" libraries that cvs2svn needs are the *Python
modules*, not just the libraries and/or executables.  You probably need
to install something like "python-gdbm" or "python-md5" (though I don't
know the naming scheme used by sunfreeware).

The warning that the md5 library is deprecated should only appear if
there was an error importing the non-deprecated "hashlib".  So it would
be preferable for you to install Python's hashlib.  When this is set up
correctly, you should be able to type

    python -c 'from hashlib import md5'

and not see any error messages.

When you figure this out, it would be great if you would send an email
to the list explaining the procedure so that your successors can benefit
from your work.
