Mercurial missing _locale

[wobbet@…]

Running SnowLeopard on 32-bit MacBookPro2,2.

Config edited file to add +universal for all ports.

I performed a

sudo port clean --all all sudo port install python26 sudo port install mercurial

Both reported success.

When I attempt to execute

hg clone ...

I receive the following trace indicating that _locale is missing.

Traceback (most recent call last):

If _locale is missing entirely that would be a problem with python26. Can you import _locale manually in an interactive interpreter? Is /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_locale.so present, and if so, what are the permissions on it? (Could be a umask issue a la #21389.)

_locale is not present but _locale_failed is.

That would be the issue, if you want a given port +universal, all of its dependencies need to also be +universal. MacPorts currently can't do this automatically (see ticket #126), so you have to make sure of it yourself.
