Bug 11926

Should this be dropped as there seems little upstream activity and it is still broken?

Assignee: bugsquad => cvargas

Exactly the same bug here. 32-bit Mageia 4, bless installed using MCC.

Hi, if you try to execute a .NET program not compiled against Mono 4.0 but compiled against Mono 2.0 instead, you get these errors
I use dmcs compiler (4.0) instead of gmcs (2.0) and the error persists
A quick workaround is to force the application to run using 4.0, like this:

mono --runtime=v4.0 /usr/lib/myapp/myapp.exe

to force Mono to use the v4.0 runtime.

A patch that modifies the script (/usr/bin/bless) that makes the call to bless.exe and makes it work again:

mono "@blesslibdir@/@PACKAGE_NAME@/bless.exe" "$@"

mono --runtime=v4.0 "@blesslibdir@/@PACKAGE_NAME@/bless.exe" "$@"

I have tested this in Cauldron (x86_64) and Mageia 4 (x86_64) (from updates_testing) and it seems fine.

Whiteboard: todrop? => (none)

I confirm this problem and this solution in MGA4-i686.
context : stable (non testing) and up-to-date distrib.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Example_update_advisory_announcement
and re-assign this bug to qa-bugs@ml.mageia.org (QA team), so they can validate the update.

Thanks :-)

I have uploaded a patched/updated package for Mageia Cauldron and Mageia 4.
.
You can test this by installing the package and run:

Suggested advisory:
========================
Updated packages fixed a bless issue, this update adds a quick workaround to force the application to run using runtime 4.0, like this:
