I know I'm filing this under monodoc, but I don't see mono-core as being an option in bugzilla. Description of problem: The mono compiler mcs will not run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mono-core-4.8.0-12.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the command "mcs". Actual results: [glen@falcon ~]$ mcs Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542 at System.TermInfoReader.ReadHeader (System.Byte[] buffer, System.Int32& position) [0x0002b] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.TermInfoReader..ctor (System.String term, System.String filename) [0x00065] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.TermInfoDriver..ctor (System.String term) [0x00058] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver.CreateTermInfoDriver (System.String term) [0x00000] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver..cctor () [0x00062] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Console.SetupStreams (System.Text.Encoding inputEncoding, System.Text.Encoding outputEncoding) [0x0000a] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.Console..cctor () [0x000a8] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00019] in <6c6b2f38a076460eacf227054ff6f99a>:0 [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542 at System.TermInfoReader.ReadHeader (System.Byte[] buffer, System.Int32& position) [0x0002b] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.TermInfoReader..ctor (System.String term, System.String filename) [0x00065] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.TermInfoDriver..ctor (System.String term) [0x00058] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver.CreateTermInfoDriver (System.String term) [0x00000] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver..cctor () [0x00062] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Console.SetupStreams (System.Text.Encoding inputEncoding, System.Text.Encoding outputEncoding) [0x0000a] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 at System.Console..cctor () [0x000a8] in <373b6e083d6e45e498c9082a8eebd27f>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00019] in <6c6b2f38a076460eacf227054ff6f99a>:0 Expected results: I expect mcs to run as normal without throwing an exception.
