mono-runtime 2.0.1-4 on Jaunty

[Stjepan Zlodi (lupus)]

libMonoPosixHelper is missing.
Try: sudo apt-get install libmono-posix2.0-cil

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

This appears to be a Mono bug due to you missing the libmono-posix2.0-cil package, not a GNOME Do bug.

Hi @Stjepan Zlodi,

Your solution is good. It worked for me!

Thank you!

[jc00ke (jesse-jc00ke)]

@Robert
thanks, that solved it. It's strange though, because some update to mono that came down from Ubuntu must've uninstalled the posix2.0-cil package. Installing it also fixed some dependencies and Do is working again!

Guess this can be closed.

This worked to me too.. thank you very much :)
