Why am I getting an exception from Sitecore.Update with Sitecore 6.5?
Using Sitecore 6.5 and see this exception while trying to generate an update package?

Exception Could not load file or assembly 'Sitecore.Update, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The given key was not present in the dictionary. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131577)(System.IO.FileLoadException):
          at HedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.PackageBuilder.PackageBuilder.BuildPackage(BuildContext ctx)
          at HedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.PackageBuilder.Program.Main(String[] args)

This is a bug with Sitecore's Sitecore.Update.dll. They have a hotfix available here:
