Error running mach:

    ['mercurial-setup']

The error occurred in code that was called by the mach command. This is either
a bug in the called code itself or in the way that mach is calling it.

You should consider filing a bug for this issue.

If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.

The details of the failure are as follows:

What should have happened?
==========================
It says in the error report that I should consider reporting this bug so I did. I am new hoping to contribute and was in the process of setting up the development environment when I encountered this issue.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

This is almost certainly a dupe of bug 1280161, which is fixed. Please pull a code update and try running the setup again:

hg pull -u
./mach mercurial-setup
