I am trying to install Mercurial using apt-get on a web server running Debian. I would prefer to have the latest stable version of Mercurial but I would be happy with anything reasonably recent. I tried entering the command sudo apt-get install mercurial
and I got the following response:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mercurial: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10 is to be installed
Depends: python (>= 2.5) but 2.4.4-2 is to be installed
Depends: python-support (>= 0.90.0) but 0.5.6 is to be installed
Depends: mercurial-common (= 1.7.5-1) but it is not going to be installed
trac: Depends: python-genshi but it is not installable

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I tried running sudo apt-get -f install
and got some more stat-related errors and a suggestion to run apt-get update
. (Let me know if you need to know more details)
I tried sudo apt-get update
and got several 404 errors followed by this:

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I install Mercurial?
