I couldn't identify the real culprit yet, but it seems it has to do with some of the mono system/runtime libraries. Even a "hello world" program created with 'mcs' has the same problem. I think this is not OK and a solution should be found on the long run. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mono-mcs depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libmono-corlib4.5-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-microsoft-csharp4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system-core4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system-xml4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii mono-runtime 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 Versions of packages mono-mcs recommends: ii pkg-config 0.29-4+b1 mono-mcs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
