[Bug 530000] Re: mono assembly installation under qemu-arm-static hangs

[Oliver Grawert]

this seems to be an issue with your board, on the supported ubuntu
architectures native installation of mono packages works fine (there are
surely plenty issues with applications, but the breakage you describe
above observed in VMs yet) all our images build fine and install the
mono dependencies without problems on omap (lucid-natty), imx51(jaunty-
lucid), dove (jaunty-maverick) and omap4 (maverick-natty) platforms.

there is no way to work around the issue in qemu-user sessions unless
mono switches to a different garbage collector. boehm GC (which is
currently used in mono) uses /proc to collect data. under the qemu-user
emulation as qemu-arm-static is one (which is a wrapper around every
single binary) the arm binaires only see the host machines /proc
filesystem and can not collect data from this.
