Package: banshee
Version: 2.9.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

banshee completely fails to start.  This is currently happening for
both the unstable and experimental versions, but I post the terminal
log for the experimental version here:

servo:~ 0$ banshee --debug --debug-sql --debug-addins --no-gtkrc
** Running Mono with --debug  --profile=gui-thread-check **
The 'gui-thread-check' profiler wasn't found in the main executable nor could 
it be loaded from 'mono-profiler-gui-thread-check'.

I see that there are other reports of similar crashes on start, but
none of them actually included the same error log I see here, so I
consider it a separate issue.

At some point this year banshee became incredibly unstable, getting
worse and worse to the point that it doesn't even start at all now.
No idea what's going on.
