[ubuntu-mono] mono-2.0-service ubuntu server 10.04

[Gavin Phaup]

Hi Joe

The following is the contents of /usr/lib/mono/2.0/ after installing just the mono-2.0-service package.

CustomMarshalers.dll		  System.Core.dll
gacutil.exe			  System.dll
I18N.dll			  System.Drawing.dll
I18N.West.dll			  System.EnterpriseServices.dll
Mono.Posix.dll			  System.Management.dll
Mono.Security.dll		  System.Security.dll
mono-service.exe		  System.ServiceProcess.dll
mscorlib.dll			  System.Transactions.dll
System.Configuration.dll	  System.Xml.dll
System.Configuration.Install.dll  System.Xml.Linq.dll

As you can see mono-service.exe exists. The following is the list of the dependancies that where installed with mono-2.0-service package.

--\ Packages being automatically installed to satisfy dependencies (10)
ciA  binfmt-support            +168kB  <none>     1.2.18    
piA  cli-common                +344kB  <none>     0.7       
piA  libmono-corlib2.0-cil     +2,679k <none>     2.4.4~svn1

piA  libmono-posix2.0-cil      +303kB  <none>     2.4.4~svn1
piA  libmono-security2.0-cil   +418kB  <none>     2.4.4~svn1
piA  libmono-system2.0-cil     +4,510k <none>     2.4.4~svn1
piA  mono-2.0-gac              +147kB  <none>     2.4.4~svn1
piA  mono-gac                  +135kB  <none>     2.4.4~svn1
ciA  mono-runtime              +3,379k <none>     2.4.4~svn1

I dont have any other services to test mono-service2 with, however I managed to fix the problem by installing libmono2.0-cil package. Should this be a dependancy of the mono-2.0-service package? If it should not be neccesary I would prefer not to use it as the libmono2.0-cil package has a lot of dependancies and with this being a customer's production server I would like to install as little as possible.

Thanks for your help,
Gavin

That package ought to contain /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mono-service.exe. Can
you run mono-service2 on any other executables?
