Bug Description

Binary package hint: monodevelop

If I try to create Gtk#-2.0-Project, I'll get the following error message:
System.ArgumentException: value
  at MonoDevelop.GtkCore.ReferenceManager.set_GtkPackageVersion (System.String value) [0x00000]
  at MonoDevelop.GtkCore.Dialogs.GtkProjectFeature.ApplyFeature (MonoDevelop.Projects.SolutionFolder parentCombine, MonoDevelop.Projects.SolutionItem entry, Gtk.Widget editor) [0x00000]
  at MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui.Dialogs.CombineEntryFeatureSelector.ApplyFeatures () [0x00000]

The missing dependency is the package "gtk-sharp2".

we don't put full dependencies on things like mono-devel and the gtk# devel packages, because monodevelop can be used for non-gtk or non-mono stuff. there's a rationale for a recommends or suggests though

Thank you for your reply.
The problem is that the error message isn't really meaningful and I just find the missing package by google the error message. Maybe it would be possible to add an simple install dialog, similar to the dialog, where you can install missing audio codecs.
