[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1622951] Re: bless fails to handle user config

[V F]

Sorry I was wrong, this one is indeed the correct package for Ubuntu.
I've attached a patch for bzr. I couldn't find the Xenial version, so I
did it for Wily.

Manual fix is similar except for a few things:
- Download the source code with bzr: "bzr branch lp:ubuntu/wily/bless".
- Patch with "bzr merge fix_preferences_session_save.patch".
- As written in readme, use ./configure, make and sudo make install. That probably won't even mess up the package manager.
- You need to create a symlink for the deprecated gmcs the package relies on. I did "sudo ln /usr/bin/mcs /usr/bin/gmcs".

** Patch added: "fix_preferences_session_save.patch"

  bless fails to handle user config

Status in bless package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I can't save any configuration.

  If I provide default configuration, bless reads it and fails to update
  it properly. The xml structure is cut off afterwards.

  Here is the output I get when I start bless:
