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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530000 Title: mono assembly installation under qemu-arm-static hangs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
