Description:


When compiling Quine-relay (https://github.com/mame/quine-relay, supports 71 programming languages at the time of writing), it stops when compiling the Visual Basic code.

The error is: VBNC2017: The library 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll' could not be found.

According to this forum post (http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/mod-mono-with-VB-The-library-Microsoft-VisualBasic-dll-could-not-be-found-td4659980.html), by the upstream developer, Rolf Bjarne Kvinge, the solution could be to:

ln -s /usr/lib/mono/4.0/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll /usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

This worked and solved the problem here.

Please add this symlink to the package.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
mono-basic 2.10-4
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Install quine-relay from AUR and run "quine-relay". Observe the error message at step 16.

This bug is invalid. As I saw now our mono-basic package is out-of-date. That's all. The newest version provides /usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll. So I just have to update the package. I will do it this week.
