[Python-apps-team] Bug#532190: mercurial: Mercurial doesn't build correctly when Python 2.6 is default.

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu karmic ubuntu-patch

Building mercurial when default python is 2.6 creates a package that cannot
be installed (depends on python (<< 2.6) and python is 2.6.x). That's
because setup.py install lacks --install-layout=deb which results in
2.6 modules installed in wrong directories (/usr/local/...).

Attached patch fixes the issue.

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

  * Fix build with Python 2.6  (LP: #383109)

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
