Ubuntu and friends are really, really bad at packaging Mono, and have been for a long time. Mono development on Arch Linux is delightful.
I suggest trying to compile it all yourself instead of going for packages on Debian-derived systems.
- brokenparser 13y agoFedora isn't much better, Monodevelop is stuck at 2.8.8.4 even. Luckily there's an OpenSUSE repository mentioned elsewhere in this discussion which has CentOS/Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu in it as well.

- Sir_Cmpwn 13y agoYou'll still have to install them, but it won't be a pain in the ass. The default mono package assumes you want everything, you want the latest version, and you don't want to spend an hour finding packages.
