No, the mono package comes from the main Mandriva repository. The 
monodevelop package comes from the contrib Mandriva directory. I have 
installed the x86_64 versions of both since I am running the x86_64 
version of Mandriva. The mono package version says 2.2-2, while the 
monodevelop package version says 2.0-1. The only odd thing is that while 
nearly all the packages are x86_64 or, in the case of mono-addins 
noarch, the libmono0 package says i586. There is no x86_64 version of 
libmono0 in the Mandriva repositories. Could that be the problem ?
