Update does not take any arguments, so that is not a legal command.
You could update it with apt, but if you want the absalute latest stuff, 
build from source.

So if you choose to build orca from source for the latest stuff
apt-get install subversion
Its a version control system...

Then just follow the instructions on the site.
