QCT config file remains after 'aptitude purge' and causes errors on Mercurial startup

[Guillem Cantallops Ramis]

Binary package hint: qct

The file '/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/commit-tool.rc' is still there after 'aptitude purge qct'.

Then if you run 'hg' you always get an error like this as the first output line:

*** failed to import extension hgext/hct: Import by filename is not supported.

This is just annoying, but it doesn't have other effects AFAIK. The workaround is simply removing the config file. I think that the package should do this automatically upon installation.

Of course I wanted to write "upon removal", not "upon installation"!!! O:-)

I confirm.
And it not just annoying: somehow it modified one of files in repo with line: "*** failed to import extension hgext/hct: Import by filename is not supported." when I used eclipse with mercurial plugin.

I added following lines in $HOME/.hgrc

[extensions]
hgext.qct=!
hgext.hgconfig=!

Or comment out "hgext.qct =" in /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/qct.rc

Deleting /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/commit-tool.rc solves this for me.

[net.ricky (net-ricky)]

Creating $HOME/.hgrc with that contents is unseful
What you have to do is add:

[extensions]
hgext/hct=!

to

/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/commit-tool.rc

This solves for me

What Riccardo said above solved it for me. Easy solution. Thanks

net.ricky's trick worked for me too for hg version 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 9.04
