TortoiseHg, GUI for mercurial (link = https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/targz/downloads/tortoisehg-4.4.2.tar.gz) works perfectly fine on other distros but not on KDE neon. I haven't tried Kubuntu though. The first error: No module named Qsci Upon trying to fix that up: `sudo apt-get install python-qscintilla2` it gives the following error: `python-qscintilla2: Depends: sip-api-11.2` `E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.` Upon trying to fix that up: `sudo apt-get install sip-api-11.2` it gives the following error: `E: Package 'sip-api-11.2' has no installation candidate` although according to `aptitude search sip-api` the version of the `sip-api` required is available. The version of `python-sip` is `4.19.6` and I don't know the relationship between `python-sip` and the `sip-api`.
qscintilla2 in Neon needs to be recompiled. This is a downstream packaging issue.
Thank you for a quick response. I have successfully recompiled qscintilla2, however, Im still not being able to build the python binding and run `TortoiseHg`. First error: It is asking to make sure I have `sip` available in PATH. Upon trying to fix that up: `sudo apt-get install sip-dev` and tring again `python configure.py` it gives the following error: `Error: Unable to create the C++ code.` `python configure-old.py` doesn't work either.
OK. That's nothing to do with pykde though, so you should either consult with one of the relevant upstreams or with the Neon developers.
