[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 244683] [NEW] monodevelop crashes on startup directly after installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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.IdeApp.Initialize (IProgressMonitor monitor) [0x00000] 
  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.

** Affects: monodevelop (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
