SORRY!

I made an error here, I'm so used to typing binary's name svn that I forgot to
use the true package name with apt:

$ apt policy subversion
subversion:
  Installed: 1.13.0-3ubuntu0.2
  Candidate: 1.13.0-3ubuntu0.2

So it seems like subversion has been stuck at this revision on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS!

If I test on another device running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (this is a desktop system):

$ apt policy subversion
subversion:
  Installed: 1.14.1-3ubuntu0.22.04.1
  Candidate: 1.14.1-3ubuntu0.22.04.1

Question:

Is it possible to upgrade subversion from the apt installed version which is
locked to the distribution level to a more recent version available on 22.04 or
even 24.04?
