[Mono-list] upgrading to mono 1.9 fails Error: Missing Dependency: libexif.so.9 is needed by package libgdiplus0

[javier fernandez]

Hello,

I have mono version (1.2.4 ) installed on fedora 8 and I want to upgrade to
mono version ( 1.9 ).
My attempt to upgrade using "yum  upgrade mono-core" failed with the
following dependency error:

"Error: Missing Dependency: libexif.so.9 is needed by package libgdiplus0"

I checked the version of libexif.so that  I have installed and found that I
have newer version ( libexif.so.12 ).

Should I uninstall mono 1.2.4 and install mono 1.9 ( but then what of my
apps that depend on mono 1.2.4 ) ?

Please suggest a resolution.
