[Pkg-mono-devel] Cannot run MonoDevelop, MonoDoc - MonoCommon does not seem to install properly

[Brett Senior]

I wanted to install monodevelop and the help system monodoc.  All seemed to go OK during the install, but when I run monodevelop I get the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for MonoDevelop.Core.GettextCatalog ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Mono.Unix.Native.Stdlib ---> System.DllNotFoundException: MonoPosixHelper

and when I try to install monodoc, I get the following error:

 monodoc depends on monodoc-browser; however:
  Package monodoc-browser is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing monodoc (--configure):

 monodoc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I went into synaptic and looked at package mono-common and according to the installed files it installs the /etc... config file - but when I look in that directory it is empty.  I did an apt-get update before installing so that I have the latest etc.

Can anyone help so that I can get things running ?
