Description Christian Krause 2009-10-21 18:49:11 UTC

Description of problem:

During the last days I've searched a bug in f-spot where it sometimes
crashed with really weird backtraces like this (Fedora 10, mono 2.2):

ERROR:mini-exceptions.c:768:get_exception_catch_class: assertion failed:
(class->generic_class->container_class == method_container_class)
Stacktrace:

  at (wrapper managed-to-native)
System.Reflection.MonoMethod.InternalInvoke
(object,object[],System.Exception&) <0x00004>
  at (wrapper managed-to-native)
System.Reflection.MonoMethod.InternalInvoke
(object,object[],System.Exception&) <0xffffffff>2

I've found some upstream bug reports about the problem:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459285 and they claimed that
it got fixed in mono 2.2.

Currently, F10 uses mono-core-2.2-2.fc10.i386
I've checked out the corresponding tag (mono-2_2-2_fc10) and did a "make
local" which retrieved the tarball as it is in Fedora's packaging system:

md5sum mono-2.2.tar.bz2
a311545a0003f1a599297d57e4e27916  mono-2.2.tar.bz2

cat sources
a311545a0003f1a599297d57e4e27916  mono-2.2.tar.bz2

Then I've downloaded the official 2.2 tarball as it is linked on mono's
web page: http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.2.tar.bz2

md5sum mono-2.2.tar.bz2
da147e24d14a73d8ad52775dd4a3d165  mono-2.2.tar.bz2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mono-core-2.2-2.fc10.i386

A diff between the two tarballs indeed revealed that the mentioned bug was fixed.

I suggest to update F10's mono to the official 2.2 release.
