hg is aborting when I try to update, even with a clean install.
smeagolthellama opened this issue · 6 comments
Steps to reproduce (for me): update.sh or autogen.sh
affected version: latest git
hg version: 4.8.2
the problem:
$ ./autogen.sh
abort: error: Permission deniedI have narrowed it down to the line that ends up calling the following:
$ hg clone https://keep.imfreedom.org/pidgin/pidgin/
abort: error: Permission denied
The previous command doesn't seem to work in any directory on my machine, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with my folder permissions. Also, I have plenty of space on the disk so it isn't that either.
No idea. Works for me. I'm not very familiar with mercurial, try to get more debugging info out of it?
Found some debugging options, output is below.
$ hg -v --traceback --debug clone https://keep.imfreedom.org/pidgin/pidgin/
using https://keep.imfreedom.org/pidgin/pidgin/

It says it's selinux nonsense. Probably a bug in your distro, if you installed mercurial from your distro's packages.
As far as I can tell, I don't have any selinux stuff, so none of that is helping.
The only things I can imagine that would throw permission denied when opening a network connection are system-call level security enhancements of that sort. So either selinux or something equivalent. Anyway - really not my area of expertise, more likely to be about your distro.
working workaround: use the release tarballs.
