Package: bzr-hg Version: 0.1-2 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
The ‘bzr-hg’ plug-in has a strict constraint on the versions of
Mercurial it will support. In fact, it supports exactly one version:
=====
$ grep hg_compatible_versions ./info.py
hg_compatible_versions = ["1.3.1"]
=====
The Debian packaging has the wrong dependency for the ‘mercurial’
package; it allows a different version (in this case, version ‘1.4-1’
which is the current version in Squeeze) to be installed, which then
causes the ‘bzr-hg’ plug-in to always fail:
=====
$ bzr info /
bzr: ERROR: Unable to import library "mercurial": bzr-hg: Mercurial version 1.4
not supported.
=====
The Debian packaging needs to reflect the same dependency constraints.
The following patch addresses this:
