You are right the libraries are insufficiently up to date, generally
we only support distributions going back around one and a half year.
That allows us to drop workarounds for bugs and depend on modern
functionality.

There should be bundles available for distributions that do not
provide the foundation Banshee needs. You can obtain a 2.2.0 bundle
here:

You should also generally consider updating your Mono using
badgerports to get a supportable modern version.
