Setting to confirmed as I can also reproduce this bug.

Ok, I have tracked this down, it appears to be a bad pkg-config on banshee's end. There's a very simple work around.
run this in a terminal
$ cp /usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.CollectionIndexer.dll ~/.local/share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1/addins/Do.Banshee.1.0

then restart Do, it should work.

It works, thanks.

Are there plans to get this fixed in the jaunty packages, or should we all be doing the manual workaround?

[Alex Launi (alexlauni)]

Jaunty packages are out, this won't be fixed in Jaunty. Possibly in a PPA
update, but certainly not in the official Ubuntu packages.

I think bugfixes can make it into the current stable release, no? Or is this considered too risky in some way?

This might be SRU-able, although we'd want to be a bit careful that it
(a) works for people who already have the plugin installed and (b)
doesn't unexpectedly break people's setups.
