Mercurial can not be used when python is build without thread support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE="-threads" emerge -av1 dev-lang/python 2.emerge -av dev-util/mercurial 3.mkdir /tmp/foo 4.cd /tmp/foo 5.hg init 6.hg clone /tmp/foo/ /tmp/foo_clone 7.touch foo_file 8.hg add foo_file Actual Results: on clone/add (6/8) hg fails with "abort: could not import module thread!" Expected Results: step 2 should fail when python was not build with USE="threads"
Thanks for reporting this missing dependency, assigning to maintainer
I think this should fix it.
