I can't commit a single file by Mercurial. Here are different variants of the command:
The variant with --traceback

abort: The system cannot find the file specified
My colleagues and me had cleaned the project committed, re-cloned it, pulled changes or not, checked all python scripts and ssh keys for reachability... It should be OK, but it is not.
I have a suspision that while the error in the "--debug" variant appears after committing changelog, it could be something with it? I don't see any file that is named "changelog" in the project and there are three containing that word and they all are obviously old - cloned from repository.
About duplication of questions. It seems that that or similar message pops up in very many absolutely different situations:
Mercurial Editor: "abort: The system cannot find the file specified" - The commit fails in this very place of the same script, but... The stack itself is different, and there fails only the commit without the message. I have the message. And the author tries to use an alternative default editor and cannot - that is his problem, absolutely different from mine. I haven't changed the editor. I have not troubles with editor. I have installed hg, cloned project, changed one file and want to commit it - that is all.
TortoiseHg can't commit--"The system cannot find the file specified" - here the error message header is not "abort:", but "abort: Adding: "
android studio gradle refresh failed (The system cannot find the file specified) - here the commit is called from Android Studio and the file IS specified
"abort: The system cannot find the file specified" in Mercurial - the messages are almost the same, only the missing file IS specified by Mercurial. And the stack is different. And in my case I can update, whereas that author could not.
In others cases on SO with that error message it is not Mercurial what invokes the error.
I have looked at many similar cases on different sites, and I had not found the same problem. Always something important was different.
@Leon has supposed an interesting version below - that the reason is incorrectly set openssl/gnupg. I have checked installation of openssl, ran hg help commitsigs - and reading the ouput, noticed such interesting property as forcesign.
If the parametr is specified with a value of 1, the commit process will be
aborted and rolled back if the changeset cannot be signed for whatever reason
(bad setup, expired certificate and so on. The default is that the commit
will still be successful, but not signed.
Yes, it looks promising. ...But even setting that property to 0 changed nothing in the situation.
