This log snippet might be of interest, since it triggered the matcher 'Source-dependencies not satisfied'.

After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
mercurial(inst 1.9.1-1 ! << wanted 1.9~)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping bzr-hg

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

This is fixed by the latest bzr-hg in Debian, I'll request a sync.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

the synced 0.2.0~bzr511-1 still ftbfs

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

in package set bzr

[Florian Rathgeber (florian-rathgeber)]

Why is this Won't Fix in Oneiric? Currently bzr-hg cannot be installed from the package repository due to this packaging bug.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

0.2.0~bzr540-1build1 still ftbfs in precise

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

I've filed a request to remove bzr-hg from precise.

[Aditya V (kroq-gar78)]

So what's the problem? More specific, what's the '~' mean in the wanted version?

"After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
mercurial(inst 1.9.1-1 ! << wanted 1.9~)"

^^^ Taken from buildlog ^^^

Wondering primarily for my curiosity.

[Aditya V (kroq-gar78)]

Also, shouldn't this be critical? I mean, you can't even use the package until this bug is fixed...

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

bzr-hg has been removed from precise. See Debian bug 659931 for the background of the removal (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659931).

Basically, there were several serious issues with bzr-hg that didn't really make it fit for release. Rather than keeping it in (in a broken state) and exposing our users to it, I decided to ask for it to be removed for the time being. Once it is more production-ready, it can be added again.

I'm sorry if this affects you. As a workaround, you can also use hg-fastexport and bzr-fastimport to convert Mercurial repositories to Bazaar.

I'm closing this bug as Invalid, as the package no longer exists.
