Hi !

I am on debian jessie (8.3) and have already installed mono-complete
according the instructions given here:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#debian-ubunt
u-and-derivatives

and there were no problem with it.
Today, I wanted to install the package monodevelop, but this failed:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 monodevelop : Depends: libmono-corlib2.0-cil (>= 3.2.8) but it is not going
to be installed
               Depends: libmono-microsoft-build2.0-cil (>= 3.2.8) but it is

               Recommends: libgtk2.0-cil-dev but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

>apt-get install --fix-broken

dont change anything.

Then I registered, that the packages are updated and tried:

>apt-get upgrade mono-complete

 libmono-i18n4.0-cil : Depends: mono-runtime (< 4.0.4.2) but
4.2.3.4-0xamarin2 is to be installed

What should I do to fix the problem ??

Thanks,
