ubuntu 24 (and most likely debian 12) does not allow to install evolve

Well, for the protocoll, it is 6.7.2, but this does not help

Bloody hell. Two problems with mercurial in Ubuntu (the actual version
and the incompatible evolve version.
Now I have a problem.

    1. I un-installed Ubuntus mercurial

    2. I used pipx to install 6.7.4

    3. But then this mercurial version does not know anything about the
       evolve version I installed via pip! sigh

    4. I will try to install mercurial also via pip with the
       --break-system-packages option. Sigh again

I will do, but their Bug Tracker sucks, sorry to say that. There is a
very nice launchpad blabbla, but no easy to find button, submitt new
bug.

Instead the ubuntu-bug app, that seems not to allow to add further information.
