I've got the same exact problem on Saucy.

Title:
  monodevelop crashes on startup directly after installation

Status in “monodevelop” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1. Install monodevelop using apt-get
  2. Launch it

  Actual:
  monodevelop crashes and shows the following error inside an error dialog:
  System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for MonoDevelop.Core.Gui.Services ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Extension node not found in path: /MonoDevelop/Core/PlatformService
    at Mono.Addins.ExtensionContext.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path, System.Type arrayElementType, Boolean reuseCachedInstance) [0x00000] 
    at Mono.Addins.ExtensionContext.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path) [0x00000] 
    at Mono.Addins.AddinManager.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path) [0x00000] 
    at MonoDevelop.Core.Gui.Services..cctor () [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

    at MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui.IdeStartup.Run (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 

  
  Expected:
  Monodevelop should start normally.


  Note 1: I've talked to monodevelop developers on IRC and they suspect it's a packaging bug.
  Note 2: I've also tried to "sudo apt-get remove monodevelop", "sudo apt-get purge monodevelop", deleting the ~/.config/MonoDevelop folder completely followed by "sudo apt-get install monodevelop". I still see the exact same bug.
