[Bug 1217708] New: tortoisehg-6.5.1-1.13.noarch requires mercurial < 6.6 but this requirement cannot be satisfied
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217708 Bug ID: 1217708 Summary: tortoisehg-6.5.1-1.13.noarch requires mercurial < 6.6 but this requirement cannot be satisfied Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Upgrade Problems Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: missoline@protonmail.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- When trying to upgrade Tumbleweed after refreshing the repos, I get the following error: tortoisehg-6.5.1-1.13.noarch requires mercurial < 6.6 but this requirement cannot be satisfied The underlying reason being that the upgrade bumps mercurial's version from 6.5.3-334.1 to 6.6-336.1, however the list of dependencies of the thg package have not been updated. Apparently this is not the first time this problem occurs: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1023846 As far as I am concerned, on the rare occasions when I have trouble upgrading Tumbleweed, the culprits are always thg/mercurial. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately, the only way to resolve this is to bundle Mercurial with TortoiseHG, which THG maintainers do for Windows & macOS for a while now. I have no idea how to do this for openSUSE, hence the breakage.
In theory we could have a single source package that builds both Mercurial and TortoiseHG, but I prefer having different packages separated. Bundling this would require TortoiseHG to stay maintained for the Mercurial package to get updated. While this seems to be the case currently, I do not want to rely on that. There is a release candidate available (since 8 days after the new Mercurial release) that should be compatible with Mercurial 6.6. Judging from past release candidates the full release could even be around a month later (see https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/tortoisehg/thg/-/tags). The situation might improve at least a bit if we use the release candidate, but I have avoided this in the past. Given that we run upstream tests and the package is not submitted to Factory, is this something that could be acceptable? For the current rc, the only change seems to be this one: https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/tortoisehg/thg/-/commit/aee01f4ef39b5e25... I'll try to apply this patch to the package, maybe it will work. In general, that is something we can always try. The package build already runs the tests from upstream and if we assume that they suffice, we could allow the tortoisehg package to always be compatible with the next Mercurial version. As a side note, if anyone with the same update issue reads this and needs a temporary solution: I usually run the following command. zypper addlock mercurial* This will prevent zypper from complaining about unsatisfied version requirements by simply not updating mercurial. When tortoisehg is finally updated and compatible, the lock can be removed and updates will continue as before: zypper removelock mercurial* -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
