Cannot run applications that use System.Data.OleDb

[Michael Larsen]

Binary package hint: mono

Running KUbuntu 10.10

When running applications that use System.Data.OleDB, mono throws a System.DllNotFoundException, stating that it can't find libgda-2.so.3 (try the example code at http://www.mono-project.com/OLE_DB).

At the very least there ought to be some documentation as to why this fails, why this library is referenced but not installable (on any available version since Hardy...). The closest note (on a mono mailing list -- google for it) I could find is that it's "not important functionality". Be that as it might, it's not ok to randomly make that bit of the API useless, since it IS used in code. If that's not available, some sort of link to porting instructions from OleDb to whatever API is acceptable would be useful.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
