Reinstalling usually only ever helps if the installation was corrupted in some
way (e.g. due to disk corruption or someone with root privileges moving random
files in /usr around).

In the case of this bug, it's quite likely that it only helped because you
didn't upgrade your mono-zeroconf package in the first place, and the
reinstallation of Banshee helped you do that.

Bug description:
  Banshee crashes when a DAAP server vanishes.

  Test case:
  1. Start up Banshee and make sure the DAAP extension is enabled.
  2. Start up a DAAP server, e.g. Tangerine. This can be done on a separate machine to avoid touching Banshee (especially because Tangerine runs the CollectionIndexer).
  3. Wait until the DAAP server appears in Banshee.
  4. Close the DAAP server (killall -SIGINT tangerine/^C)
  5. Banshee crashes.
