Hey there, I've dealt with this exact error when setting up Review Board via Bitnami, so let me walk you through the fix step by step—this should get you up and running in no time.

Step 1: Access the Bitnami Review Board Virtual Environment #

Bitnami packages apps in isolated virtual environments, so you need to activate it first to install modules correctly (don't use your system-wide pip, that'll cause compatibility issues).

For Linux/macOS:

cd /opt/bitnami
source apps/reviewboard/venv/bin/activate

For Windows (Command Prompt):

cd C:\Bitnami\reviewboard-x.x.x
apps\reviewboard\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Step 2: Install Required System Dependencies (Linux Only) #

Subvertpy requires Subversion development libraries to compile successfully. Run the appropriate command for your distro:

• Ubuntu/Debian:

  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libsvn-dev python3-dev -y
  

• CentOS/RHEL:

  sudo yum install subversion-devel python3-devel -y
  

Step 3: Install the subvertpy Module #

With the virtual environment activated, install the module using pip:

pip install subvertpy

Step 4: Verify the Installation #

Quickly confirm the module installed correctly by running:

python -c "import subvertpy; print('subvertpy installed successfully!')"

If you see the success message, you're on the right track.

Step 5: Restart Review Board Services #

As the error message noted, you need to restart the server for changes to take effect. Use Bitnami's control script:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart reviewboard

If you're using Apache (Bitnami's default web server for Review Board), restart that too to ensure the changes propagate:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

That's it! Head back to your Review Board instance, try adding the repository again, and the error should be resolved.
