[Python-apps-team] Bug#637688: [mercurial] unable to reproduce bug

[Chris Knadle]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.9.1-2

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

As I don't use Mercurial much (I mostly use Git) I decided to test the upgrade
due to this bug, and was unable to reproduce it.  In my case no byte-compiled
files were removed.  The relevant output (from aptitude):

Preparing to replace mercurial 1.9.1-1 (using .../mercurial_1.9.1-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mercurial ...
Preparing to replace mercurial-common 1.9.1-1 (using .../mercurial-common_1.9.1-2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mercurial-common ...
...
Setting up mercurial-common (1.9.1-2) ...
Setting up mercurial (1.9.1-2) ...


And 'hg' also seems to operate correctly as far as I can tell.
Now the qustion is what cause byte-compiled files to be removed in the
original instance the bug is based on.

BTW in case this may help, I'm including the output of the following command:

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages: No such file or directory
