Banshee-plugin not working

[Daniel Hallgren]

Binary package hint: gnome-do-plugins

The banshee-plugin in natty (11.04) does not work with banshee 2.0. It references /usr/lib/banshee-1 for some reason. When starting gnome-do I get the following error:

WARNING: [Do.Banshee,1.0] Could not load some add-in assemblies: File
'/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.CollectionIndexer.dll' not found.
ERROR: Errors found in add-in '/usr/lib/gnome-do/plugins/Banshee.dll:
ERROR: The file '/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.CollectionIndexer.dll' referenced
in the manifest could not be found.

Everything worked fine in ubuntu 10.10 with Banshee 2.0 from ppa.

The following workaround appears to work:

 - Uninstall gnome-do and gnome-do-plugins
 - Download gnome-do, gnome-do-plugins and libgdata1.4-cil from maverick (can be done from packages.ubuntu.com) and install them.
 - Start Synaptic, search for "gnome-do" and do a "Lock version" on both gnome-do and gnome-do-plugins.
 - Remove .local/shares/gnome-do in your home directory.
 - Do a symbolic link from /usr/lib/banshee to /usr/lib/banshee-1
 - Start gnome-do and activate the banshee plugin.

Confirmed, I see the same error message in 11.04 with Banshee 2.0

I have not confirmed the workaround.

Had the same issue on Lucid, this workaround worked for me
