Well according to here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mercurial

Mercurial 2.8.2 is the default for this version of Ubuntu.

Looking here:

https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases

and following the links I do not see anything about 14.04.

Seems the thing to do would be to use the regular repo for the 
distribution not the PPA.

Or switch to this PPA which has even later versions:

https://launchpad.net/~jacob/+archive/hg
