I had another go at this.  By repeatedly doing:

rug ref
rug update mono-1.1-official

I got it to report fewer and fewer errors each time:

5 packages will be installed and 13 packages will be removed.
This is a 1.65M download.

and so on until:

linux:/home/peter # rug update mono-1.1-official

'mono-1.1-official' matches 'Mono 1.1.x'
The following requested packages will be installed:
  mono-data-sybase 1.1.8.3-0.novell (Mono 1.1.x)

1 packages will be installed.

Refresh complete

linux:/home/peter # rug update mono-1.1-official

'mono-1.1-official' matches 'Mono 1.1.x'
--- No packages to update ---

Can I assume that I now have an up-to-date system?  Or are there some 
errors here that are just being ignored?

Cheers
