Comment 0 for bug 1591748

All of my mercurial tools are breaking due to version mismatches. I suspect it was due to the work done by the Debian guys on Friday with 3.8.3 put into unstable. Unless I'm doing something wrong. Here is the output I get:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04

$ sudo apt-get install mercurial=3.7.3-1ubuntu1
Reading package lists... Done

mercurial is already the newest version (3.7.3-1ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

$ hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 3.8.3)

apt-cache policy mercurial
mercurial:
  Installed: 3.7.3-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.7.3-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.7.3-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected:
 hg --version outputs 3.7.3

Instead
 hg --version outputs 3.8.3
