Error message comes from mono-addins. The rest of the issue applies to MD. |

I have two instances of VSMac on my machine, one preview and one stable. I think what happened is that after I uninstalled the addin from one of them, the other instance's database was not updated and hence it thought the addin had gone missing. I think the best fix for this is probably for Mono.Addins to automatically rebuild the addin DB if it has errors /cc @slluis |

When opening the IDE, the following error is displayed:
The exact same message is repeated three times over, and does not say which add-in is missing.
According to the extension manager, MonoDevelop.Macaque is not installed, and it's not present in the extension install directory. Deleting the extension database fixed the error.
Perhaps this dialog should attempt to rebuild the extension database, and if that fails, offer an option to uninstall or delete the extension?
