Justification: renders package unusable

I'm unable to launch Gnome-do on my Sid system.  This problem isn't new but I
first thought that this was a temporary problem, due to the nature of the
unstable branch.  The error message is : --- ** (/usr/lib/gnome-
do/Do.exe:16030): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /usr/lib
/gnome-do/Do.exe could not be loaded:      Assembly:   gtk-sharp

35e10195dab3c99f The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a
path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the

PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f' ---  I have the gtk-sharp2 package installed
but it's the 2.12.9-4 version. I can't figure if the software has just been
written by a nitpick or anything else.

Thanks,

Thanks for your report. It's a bit concerning that I haven't seen any other reports of this though. Have you ever done anything to your mono installation, such as installing from a source tarball? Can you please attach the complete output of running the command `gacutil -l'? Also, a new version of gtk-sharp2 was uploaded yesterday to unstable. You could try to upgrade to that and see if this fixes your problem.
