mercurial problem on 10.6 (seemingly identical to ticket #21283)

[joerg van den hoff]

I've just installed macports 1.8.1 on a new macbook pro running 10.6 and  
installed some packages,
most of them without problems (thanks to everybody involved!).

but mercurial fails with exactly the same error message as reported in  
ticket 21283 (bottom line "no module named osutils").

that ticket is seemingly closed, and I don't see what I should do now. any  
advice?

thanks
joerg
