Well, having just hit this again myself, I found what was *actually* causing the problem, rather than my vague recollection of what caused it, for which, apologies.
In my case just now, it was caused by having an HTTP proxy set via the environment variable http_proxy. Unsetting that fixed my problem. Pesky web proxy, bah! You should never trust random strangers on the net, by the way. ;-) cheers, Simon > -----Original Message----- > From: Guest, Simon > Sent: Thursday, 5 September 2013 1:38 p.m. > To: Alistair Chilcott > Cc: galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu > Subject: RE: Mercurial updates not working > > Hi Alistair, > > I have seen error output like this from mercurial when the client is > running a newer version than the server. > > Maybe you recently upgraded your machine, and your mercurial version is > now too recent. > > Hope that helps.
