hello

with a pure [opensuse 42.2 + dev:tools:scm-42.2] repo config, the recent
mercurial update has broken tortoise.

"strace thg" shows that the mercurial import fails when the python-ncurses lib
is loaded.

as the mercurial 4.1 build in the dev:tool:scm-42.2 repo is supposed to be
coherent with imports from pure opensuse-42.2 devel packages, it should be a
problem with mercurial 4.1 itself.

testing tortoise after a "hg clone mercurial.org" + "hg update -r 4.0.2" +
"make install" confirms that everything works fine, and the tortoise maintainer
has made a defensive change to add a "require mercurial < 4.1" condition in the
buildspec.

could it be possible to get a "mercurial40" package as a workaround, until the
mercurial 4.1 problem is fixed ?

thx,
eric
