That would be your problem:

Your tortoisehg package has to have a mercurial less the 3.2. In fact 
from here:

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

"Because TortoiseHg has strict version requirements for which versions 
of Mercurial it can interoperate with, this PPA also contains a copy of 
a suitable version of Mercurial, from 
https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases. It is now 
suggested that you do NOT also include a ~mercurial-ppa PPA in your 
system's APT sources if you use a ~tortoisehg-ppa, as versions of 
Mercurial will sometimes be published to ~mercurial-ppa for which no 
corresponding release of TortoiseHg yet exists."


Looking through the tortoisehg PPAs I do not see much activity past 
April of last year, not a hopeful sign.

I have run into this issue before and just went with a source install of 
tortoisehg, which not that difficult:
