Public bug reported:
Mercurial 0.7 on Ubuntu Dapper with python 2.4 gives a long traceback
message when trying to do any real work. When just typing "hg" it prints
the help message with no error, but any real command (e.g. hg update, hg
revert, ...) gives just a long, meaningless traceback message.
I contacted the mercurial developers and where told that I should use the
newest versio 0.9 - they are not surprised that mercurial 0.7 doesn't work at
all with python 2.4.
(I'll forward these mails containing that conversation here later).
as the mercurial hg script starts with
#!/usr/bin/env python
A workaround would be to change this line to use python2.3 and install
this package accordingly.
It would be better, though, if Ubuntu wouldn't package spoftware that is
totally unable to run in such a default configuration in the very first
place, that doesn't look exactly well maintained....
Please update the mercurial package for dapper to 0.9 with the next
maintenance release...
