To me this sounds like you try to package binaries, which is bad for
different reasons. One reason you just found, you can't predict the
references that will be used.
If you compile nant correctly from source, you will have the expected
1.0.5000.0 refs and your RPM scripts will be happy.
I discovered the same problem with MonoDevelop, because it ships a
binary stetic library that was compiled against Gtk# 2.4 but Debian uses
Gtk# 2.8, so the dependency tracker script cries about references that
can't be found in the Debian system.
