I'm confirming this bug, I was able to reproduce the behavior in the
question.

David: Its not clear if you've not used mono or C# before, but mono uses
the PE format for its executables, but instead of using i386 or other
assembly code, its CIL byte code. Wikipedia has a fairly good writeup of
how .NET (and thus mono) applications work
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework. I realize its confusing to
see .exec and .dlls on a Linux system, but rest assured that this is
proper and expected behavior.

As an added test, I installed f-spot on my ia64, and it works, so there
are no architecture-specific bits. I had apport file
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/390701 which
should give us some idea of where the segfault exists, but it seems this
is a general mono issue, as I saw segfaults installing and removing mono
assemblies but dpkg completed the configuration regardless.


** Changed in: f-spot (Ubuntu)
