Bug Description

Binary package hint: mercurial-common

After upgrading, emacs complained about not being able to find the file mercurial, which is required in my .emacrc.

Looking at my 9.10 system, the file it wants is /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mercurial.el, which is owned by mercurial-common.

On my 10.04 system, mercurial-common includes /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mq.el, but not mercurial.el. There is a file called mercurial.el.gz in /usr/share/doc/mercurial-common/examples, which looks to be a gzip'ed version of mercurial.el. Probably just got misplaced. :-)

Thanks as always for the efforts!

OK, I just had to re-install, and ran into this same bug. This should only take five minutes for someone who knows the Ubuntu package system to fix. I'd post a patch myself, if it wouldn't involve several hours of learning the ropes first...
