[Python-apps-team] Bug#873145: mercurial-git: hg-git needs to be updated to 0.8.9 to work with mercurial 4.3

[derfel]

Package: mercurial-git
Version: 0.8.5-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Tags: fixed-upstream, sid

With the new mercurial 4.3 in sid mercurial-git cannot work anymore. A sample
error is:

$ hg status
abort: No module named osutil!

$ hg log
** Unknown exception encountered with possibly-broken third-party extension
hggit
** which supports versions 3.7 of Mercurial.
** Please disable hggit and try your action again.
** If that fixes the bug please report it to https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-
git/issues
** Python 2.7.13+ (default, Jul 19 2017, 18:15:03) [GCC 6.4.0 20170704]
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 4.3.1)
** Extensions loaded: hggit

hg log don't work anymore even if the upstream repository is mercurial and not
git. So, basically, you cannot use mercurial anymore if not disabling the
extension in hgrc or updating to the latest version which is already fixed.
