Bug Description

Binary package hint: monodevelop

After installing MonoDevelop version 0.18.1+dfsg-1ubuntu2 in Hardy beta, the program was unable to compile C# programs. This is because gmcs, the mono C# compiler, is not a installed with it. Clearly anyone using MonoDevelop would need gmcs. I would expect gmcs to be a dependency or at least suggested.

Somewhere between Gutsy and Hardy, the mono and monodevelop stuff got mixed around and messed up. Here are the packages that I installed on Hardy to get things going:

monodevelop
mono-gac
mono-utils
mono-gmcs
mono-xbuild
mono-mcs
mono-1.0-devel
mono-2.0-devel
mono-1.0-service
mono-2.0-service
mono-debugger
mono-tools-gui

Ideally, doing "apt-get install monodevelop" should install all of these things. In Gutsy, it was smarter about this in that Monodevelop just needed a couple extras that weren't installed by default. Now the Monodevelop package doesn't install crucial things like mono-mcs. Packagers, please fix this!

Recommends is installed by default (except in gnome-app-install and synaptic, but there's already a bug for that, bug #8896), so I'd leave it as is.

If nobody complains, I'll close this as invalid.

I agree with Emilio, Intrepid will install recommended packages by default:

I also hit this bug just now. Will have another look in intrepid once I upgrade.
