mercurial is already the newest version.

Again here were the steps I did.
Lucid comes with hg 1.4.5

I added

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tortoisehg-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tortoisehg-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main

 apt-get update
 apt-get install tortoisehg

Thg and hg 3.0.1 were installed.

I tried

 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main
 deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main


 apt-get update
 apt-get install mercurial

mercurial is already the newest version.

3.0.1 has a bug with the pager (when enabled the colors are ignored even
      with the option --color=always.) This is the only annoying bug I
      found so far.

I could use the official installer for the latest mercurial but I am
also a bit worried that installing this version might break tortoisehg
which I don't use that often but often enough to miss it.
