Here is a workaround. This does not fix the code but resolves the null
pointer that results from looking for the non-existent
'<date>...</date>' tag, which was removed in gnome at some point. IMHO
it would be great for someone to rewrite in something other than Mono...

> sudo gvim /usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml

add the following line:

  <date>2018-04/30</date>

So the file reads something like this:

  ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <gnome-version>
    <platform>3</platform>
    <minor>18</minor>
    <micro>2</micro>
    <distributor>Ubuntu</distributor>
    <date>2018-04/30</date>
  </gnome-version>
