Bug Description

I am running on Xenial, and I am trying to use the TortoiseHg application installed via Synaptic. It seems impossible to install TortoiseHg in a working state from the package manager.

TortoiseHg installs fine from the "universe" repository, but will not launch, giving error message:

    This version of TortoiseHg requires Mercurial version 3.8.n to 3.9.n, but found 3.7.3

Version 3.7.3 is the latest Mercurial version available in the "universe" repository. The PPA for Mercurial has version 4.4.1, so that probably will not work either. Looking at apt-cache output, it looks like older versions of TortoiseHg are not available either.
