[Mono-list] Install on debian fails

[William Ivanski]

Here is what I did to install mono on Debian Jessie:

*apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys
3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF*

*echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian
<http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian> wheezy main" | sudo tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list*

*apt-get update*

*aptitude install mono-complete*

*aptitude install mono-xsp4*

*aptitude install monodevelop*

Can't tell you exactly what version was installed at the time, but it
worked. I always keep the system up-to-date, so right now I'm running mono
4.6.2, from Xamarin repo.
