[Pkg-mono-devel] Problems in preview packages

[Christopher Armstrong]

I have just downloaded the latest preview packages (1.16) to experiment
with some .NET software I have written. I have just uncovered a couple
of small errors, which should be easy to fix:

1) Mono.Data.Sqlite relies on installed libraries from packages
libsqlite3-0 and libsqlite0. These libraries didn't link
a /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so on my system (from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0), I
had to do this manually. This may cause errors with programs utilising
this assembly. I am not sure if this corrects the problem completely, or
if I have a problem in my setup.

2) Running monodevelop causes an error: it can't
find /usr/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml, with this output:

Loading error, please reinstall :
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown

It would seem installing monodoc and monodoc-browser does not fix the
problem. I tried creating a fake monodoc.xml, but it just throws errors
about unfound xml nodes. I think I need a real one.

Any help here would be appreciated.
