mercurial hg update abort: no such file or directory

Question

I'm working on a C++ project on OpenSuse Linux box using mercurial versioning and recently did a pull from our server repository to my local working directory. I just tried to do an hg update, but got the following error message:

abort: No such file or directory: /home/username/Documents/dev/proj/.hg/store/data/images/general/picture.png.d

I'm pretty new to Mercurial and was wondering if there's any way I can troubleshoot this. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

Your repository may be corrupt. Start with running hg verify to see if there are any errors. The Mercurial wiki has a page dedicated to this that should help you out as well.
