[arch-general] OpenRA / Mono exceptions

[Alajos Odoyle]

Hi all,

When trying to run OpenRA from the community repository or when building 
the package myself (using the community PKGBUILD) I get Mono exceptions 
like the one below [1]. At first I thought it could be an upstream issue 
but sure enough it builds just fine when using a clean chroot. As I did 
not customize the mono package and cannot think of anything else causing 
this (configuration?), i hope someone here might have some ideas. NB, I 
never used Mono before - it was auto-installed as a dependency of OpenRA.

Thanks,
Alajos
