Mono Develop on parrot os

ionut_domniteanu · June 7, 2023, 3:47pm

Hello everyone! These days I really needed mono for a c# application. I tried to use the documentation with their commands on the official page, but instead they give me the following errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
monodevelop : Depends: libglade2.0-cil (>= 2.12.45) but 2.12.40-3 is to be installed
Depends: libglib2.0-cil (>= 2.12.45) but 2.12.40-3 is to be installed
Depends: libgtk2.0-cil (>= 2.12.45) but 2.12.40-3 is to be installed
Recommends: libgtk2.0-cil-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
’
I tried everything possible, can someone help me please?

Hi @ionut_domniteanu

It appears that Parrot’s repositories to not have the latest dependencies needed for monodevelop (yet).

Are you familiar with Linux enough to install Microsoft’s .NET (core?)

Yes, I’ve setted up the core first time with snap, then adding the repository to my apt. It is a problem?

I’ve only added the packages via the Microsoft repository. No snap is needed that I am aware of.

I’ve compiled a simple app in C# (core) using Codium. I wanted to look into C# for possibly using the Unity framework to create 3D games or apps. But I’m back to learning Python and some Rust.
