Since I am in urgent need of having a hg-git version that supports
pushing topics, I tried


 pipx install mercurial==5.1 but obtained:

,----
| pipx install mercurial==5.1
| Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
|     /home/oub/.local/state/pipx/log/cmd_2024-07-18_07.39.01_pip_errors.log
| 
| pip seemed to fail to build package:
|     mercurial==5.1
| 
| Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
|     error: subprocess-exited-with-error
| 
| Error installing mercurial from spec 'mercurial==5.1'.
`----

I am starting to get desperate.
