[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1090977] Re: monodevelop should depend on xterm

[Csipak Attila]

Paolo, I checked the package dependencies again and it looks like you are right. I wonder what happened last time, when I posted the bug?
Well, if no one else confirmed this bug then most likely it's a one in a lifetime problem or bears no importance. So I will just mark it Invalid.

** Changed in: monodevelop (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  monodevelop should depend on xterm

Status in “monodevelop” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Lubuntu 12.04 clean install (it may work on an older install too, but if it doesn't, try a clean installation).
  2. Install MonoDevelop from the Lubuntu Software Center.
  3. Start MonoDevelop.
  4. Start a new solution and a new C# console project within it.
  5. MonoDevelop autogenerates a Hello World! program for you.
  6. Try to run or debug (Ctrl+F5 or F5) the unmodified source code and experience the error:

  File name has not been set

  It seems that monodevelop uses xterm to run console projects, but
  xterm is not a dependency for monodevelop. Since xterm is not part of
  a default Lubuntu installation, MonoDevelop will throw an error at
  step 6.

  The workaround is to install xterm manually via apt-get, synaptic, or
  Software Center.

  I'd guess the bug can also be reproduced by simply uninstalling xterm
  from a working Ubuntu 12.04 installation (I didn't try this so far
  though).

  This problem has been around on other distros & platforms, see this
  forum thread for an example: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/File-
  name-has-not-been-set-td1510697.html

  AFAIK this is a simple packaging problem.
