Missing types in ServiceStack 3.9.71

Question

I am developing service infrastructure (admin panel + webservices) on ServiceStack 3.9.71. When I started development process, was no errors or warnings and all projects were compiled and run perfect. Problems appeared when I tried to deploy apps on Linux: admin control panel does not started there (mono fastcgi-server4).

I backuped all and removed all ServiceStack and ServiceStack Razor dependencies from all projects in solution, and then re-installed them. After that, in compiler log appears lot of warnings of missed types. I tried to run apps, but they crash with errors.

Compiler log is listed below. I'm using russian version of Visual Studio 2012 Express, so all messages I translated with Google Translator.

I didn't found same problems on other project, that is too based on ServiceStack 3.9.71, what I developed two months ago.

Answer 1

I solved that problem by step-by-step reinstalling all ServiceStack's dependencies:

Install-Package ServiceStack -Version 3.9.71
Install-Package ServiceStack.Common -Version 3.9.71
Install-Package ServiceStack.Text -Version 3.9.71

# optionally
Install-Package ServiceStack.Razor -Version 3.9.71

Be carefull to remove all entries for ServiceStack from packages.config in each project where You use it. I also deleted packages folder from solution. I discovered that problem was by automated linking >4.0 version libraries in packages repository.
