[Python-apps-team] Bug#534589: minor error with mercurial build dependency for version 1.2.1-3

[Faheem Mitha]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: normal


Hi Vincent,

I was having a problem building

1.2.1-3 0
       50 http://debian.csail.mit.edu squeeze/main Packages
       50 http://debian.csail.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
		    
on lenny though the build dependencies were satisfied. I was using the
lenny backport debhelper.

 *** 7.2.6~bpo50+1 0
           1 http://www.backports.org lenny-backports/main Packages
	   100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
		   
I was getting

faheem at orwell:/usr/local/src/mercurial/mercurial-1.2.1$ debuild binary
dh --with quilt binary
dh: --with quilt not supported or failed to load module
Debian::Debhelper::Sequence::quilt
make: *** [binary] Error 1
debuild: fatal error at line 1301:
couldn't exec fakeroot debian/rules:

On closer inspection, quilt should be >=0.46-7 in the mercurial
control file, as this is when the --with quilt option appears.

                                               Regards, Faheem.
