[Mono-dev] mkbundle null reference exception with --deps option

[Marek Safar]

Hello David,

It'd be nice to figure out which assembly is causing this, you could build
mkbuild from the Mono master with more logging.

Alternatively, please fill a bug report at bugzilla.xamarin.com with the
full repro which could be used to reproduce the issue.

Thank you,
Marek
