That is more a question for a Ubuntu forum. I think there is a backport
repository available for Ubuntu but I don't know if it carries Subversion
1.14.1 (for 20.04). I would assume you can't take packages from newer
Ubuntu releases - in that case you are probably better off by upgrading to
that version..

If you can't find a binary package you can maybe build Subversion yourself.
In that case make sure to build the Python bindings for Python 3.

Kind regards,
