Hi, As the person who actually filed the bugs... > The one-file -devel package is totally useless, all it leads to is: > * Existance of -devel package means we bloat the 64bit distro with the > 32bit version of the main package too.

This point was discussed at length when the mono packaging rules were being done. Most (if not all) mono packages ONLY have the .pc file in the devel package - mono-debugger is the exception to that but that is a special case. My personal feeling was (at the time) - bloody stupid idea, but now I can see the point. TTFN Paul -- "Bist Du meine Mutter?" - das leere kind
