This happened exactly on my Jaunty laptop, i.e. it produced same error message. And I know it related to Mono packages, apt-get notifies me Mono packages are not upgraded. But when I apt-get upgrade, it simply said all Mono packages are kept back. I've no idea what it means. So, anyone could help? Thanks

Robert says (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-do/+bug/401069/comments/2) this bug resolved, but the mono applications still does not start.

The fix is to make sure you have the libmono-posix2.0-cil package installed, as an upgrade to mono seems to somehow remove that for some people.

Note however that the trace you attached does not appear to be *this* bug. You may be experiencing a different bug, and need to submit a different bug report.

This bug and bug 401069 are identical and resolved.

Hi Robert,

I can confirm i have libmono-posix2.0-cil installed. I even reinstalled it to make sure but my mono apps still aren't working and gives same error messages as before
