svn is failing to install via Chocolately in Windows CI #13644
Description
I've noticed this error twice today. It appears to be persistent and new:
Chocolatey v2.5.1
Installing the following packages:
svn
By installing, you accept licenses for the packages.
Downloading package from source 'https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/'
svn v1.8.15 [Approved]
svn package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.
Attempt to get headers for https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/files/1.8.15/Setup-Subversion-1.8.15.msi failed.

This package is likely not broken for licensed users - see https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/features/private-cdn.
The install of svn was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\svn\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.
See log for details.

I don't see an immediate fix. The link preceded by "This package is likely not broken for licensed users" is broken and returns 404.
We honestly may be reaching a point where it is too difficult to retain support for subversion and mercurial Bazaar (#13568 (comment)) as they are increasingly hard to install in CI.
