mercurial 4.4.1-1 problem

I have the following error when using the latest mercurial in an up to date x64 arch linux

abort: cannot import name peerrepository!

eg

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/rptlab/preppy
abort: cannot import name peerrepository!

I tried commenting all the extensions in my .hgrc, but the error persists.

Downgrading to 4.3.3-1 fixes the issue.

I would try to test this with other repositories, maybe some from bitbucket and some from elsewhere. If the problem persists, file a bug report.

After reinstalling, mercurial, devtools & hg-git-hg and rebooting a couple of times the problem seems to have gone away; perhaps my hardware is flaky

Re: mercurial 4.4.1-1 problem

Same issue here, can confirm that downgrading to 4.3.3-1 removes this error.

Seems due to recent changes, from https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/UpgradeNotes:

* peer.peerrepository has been removed. Use repository.peer abstract base class to represent a peer repository.
