Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tortoisehg : Depends: mercurial (< 2.9~) but 3.3.2-1ppa2~trusty1 is to be installed
Recommends: python-iniparse but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
any ideas/hints to get tortoisehg back in func?
thank you very much for amazingly well described troubleshooting on How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? however even after applying all major prescriptions with cleaning the databasei still get the same message.
One thing did happen: adding all sources did trigger update of many other packages - thanks for that
will research deeper
sudo apt-get update
andsudo apt-get dist-upgrade
