It indeed triggers an error here, but not the same as yours:

# mono webclient.exe http://www.google.com

Unhandled Exception:

It happens either with webclient.exe built using mcs on the host
machine, or mcs on the target machine.

Another thing I've noticed is that the Mono installation is
*huge*. /usr/lib/mono takes 132 MB. Is all of it necessary?

Also, why do you have two packages, mono-managed and mono-native? One
builds the stuff for the host, and one builds the stuff for the target.
It could simply be one single package called mono, which builds both
for the host and the target.

Thanks,

Thomas
