Yup, and it has mercurial 1.0.1-5.1 which is pretty ancient, and was
never part of a stable Ubuntu release. It was part of a stable Debian
release, lenny, but without this bug.

Than doesn't parse :)

No, the issue is that common.py is appearing in mercurial. I don't see
this on lenny or the version that built on Ubuntu: /usr/lib/python-
support/mercurial/python2.4/hgext/inotify/common.py

I can see this in Ubuntu 1.0.1-5.1 on sparc, not entirely sure why,
presumably there is/was something different in the behavior of python
/python-support on sparc. However it was fixed in newer versions.

It certainly *was* a bug in Ubuntu, but it isn't any more. Sparc is no
longer supported, and there are no supported versions of Ubuntu showing
this bug.
