Title:
  Unable to execute .NET programs compiled against the v2.0 runtime:
  "Missing method System.Type::op_Inequality(Type,Type) in assembly
  /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll"

Status in “gtk-sharp2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you try to execute a .NET program not compiled against Mono 4.0
  (but compiled against Mono 2.0 instead), when you try to run it you
  get many exception messages relative to missing methods, such as
  "Missing method System.Type::op_Inequality(Type,Type) in assembly
  /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll".

  More details here:
  <http://orangesquash.org.uk/~laney/blog/posts/2011/10/mono-gotcha/>

  Temporary workaround:
  Run the application passing the "--runtime=v4.0" switch to Mono, like this:
  mono --runtime=v4.0 /usr/lib/myapp/myapp.exe
  (where "/usr/lib/myapp/myapp.exe" is the complete path to the program you are trying to execute) to force Mono to use the v4.0 runtime.
