Upon uninstalling `mercurial` I found I still had `/usr/local/bin/hg` (dpkg -S still didn't know where it came from so I just renamed it). I verified with `which hg` I had fully uninstalled all versions. Then I reinstalled mercurial
However I still have this issue: $ hg --version Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 3.8.3) $ which hg /usr/bin/hg $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/hg mercurial: /usr/bin/hg $ sudo apt-get install mercurial Reading package lists...
