Bug Description

Python 2 is obsolete.

You have to use Mercurial from Debian experimental with Python 3 support (https://packages.debian.org/experimental/mercurial) .

Having python2 version of Mercurial is useless, as it will not work with for example TortoiseHG which is now python3-based.

This bug was fixed in the package mercurial - 5.4.1-2ubuntu1

---------------
mercurial (5.4.1-2ubuntu1) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #1873682), remaining change:
    - Blacklist for test-wireproto-exchangev2-shallow.t for occasional
      failures.
  * Comment out black in autopkgtest dependencies, to disable check-format
    test. The source code does not exist where that test expects it to be.
    Black was commented out in the previous uploads, but wrongly uncommented
    as part of the Python 3 switch.
