[SOLVED] TotoiseHg is crashing with a segfault after last update

Hello there!

Yesterday I made a full update with pacman -Syu and then TortoiseHg started to crash:

$ thg --nofork
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried to trace the error but since thg runs with python, the only thing I got was this error message:

$ gdb python

Any ideas? I tried to uninstall TortoiseHG and install it again from AUR but it seems the release has not changed yet.

Running on Arch 4.8.13-1 x86_64
Toshiba Sattelite Pro, Intel Core i7-6500U, 16Gb RAM

Thank you in advance.

Looks like a python2 script, shouldn't be running it with python3.

That's not the segfault, though.

It seems it has to do with the some updates... I found new comments on the AUR page and a link for the following bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52691

Let's see if I can downgrade the packages that are causing the trouble.

Re: [SOLVED] TotoiseHg is crashing with a segfault after last update

Confirmed... Downgrading packages:
pyqt4-common-4.11.4-5 python-sip-4.18.1-2 python2-pyqt4-4.11.4-5 python2-sip-4.18.1-2 sip-4.18.1-2
Will make TortoiseHg to work again. I hope the bug will be corrected soon.
By now, and since there is a bug opened for this case, I'm going to mark this topic as solved.
