So, I have now two machines where this bug happens, but on a third one (my notebook) there seems to be no problem, despite all of them showing 6.8-1 as the installed version (via `dpkg --list | grep mercurial`).
Any recommendations how to make a differential-diagnosis between two systems? I think the only difference is that my notebook is a bit behind in regards to updates through apt.
