The problem is that you are running a Banshee that's mismatched with the Mono
CLI, i.e. Banshee from the wrong release pocket from the PPA.

Banshee built on Natty is built for CLI 2.0, and Banshee built on Oneiric is
built for CLI 4.0. Natty's Banshee won't work on Oneiric. Therefore, you'll need
to switch to the oneiric version of Banshee from whichever PPA you're using.

If you're using the daily PPA, downgrade to the Oneiric version for the time
being, until the Oneiric daily packages arrive -- they'll arrive the next time
Banshee gets a commit from upstream.

There's actually another duplicate bug somewhere around, but since it's an
invalid bug anyway I'll just mark this as invalid as well.

  status invalid
