I wanted to upgrade mercurial version on OpenSUSE box.

This is what I had

test99:~/TEST_AREA/hgplayarea # hg --version

Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.5)

test99:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release

openSUSE 11.3 (i586)
VERSION = 11.3

test99:~ #

I tried to upgrade mercurial on this machine using "easy_install"

test99:~/TEST_AREA/hgplayarea # easy_install -U mercurial

Got the following output for the above command:

Now after this upgrade, I'm running: hg --version --or any other hg command. I'm getting an error:

hg --version

Any help on what can I do to uninstall it -- OR install the correct version.

I did this to see if I can get Mercurial_Keyring and acl extensions to work...

I used "easy_install" as i wanted to install the latest version of mercurial. On OpenSUSE when, I'm using "yast -i mercurial", it's trying to down Mercurial 1.2.x.x version and not the latest one like what easy_install did. I initially installed mercurial using "yast" way.

Tried the following, change - it didn't work:

hg --version

  File "/usr/bin/hg", line 25
    _setbinary(fp)

Answer 1

Did this to resolve it.

1. yast --remove mercurial
2. yast --remove python
3. yast -i python-nautilus python-gtk python-gtk-devel python-pysvn dbus-1-python dbus-1-python-devel subversion meld
4. yast -i mercurial

Now, I'm doing :

hg --version

python --version

Python 2.6.5

Strange ??: 1. yast -i mercurial (during the installation said it's doing mercurial 1.2.xx or 1.3.xx) but hg --version shows a diff version. "easy_install mercurial" did install 2.3.x but then I removed it using yast. Yast installed 1.x.x and finally the working version showing above using "hg --version" is 2.3.1

2. Even after I ran yast --remove <...> (mercurial/python).... i was still able to BROWSE http :// test99 : 443 / hg

   link and it was showing all my repositories and still showing it.. the one I created before I performed yast --remove.
