Unless something has sucked it in as a dependency, I have not installed
it. Full stop. I compile mono up from source and have been for an age
now.

True, there is a difference. The question though is what on earth
installed it as I have not issued yum -y install mono-core on any other
machine other than the one at work. If it is being dragged in as a
dependency by an established package which previously didn't drag it in
then that again is a different matter.

I repeat though, I have not installed it via yum as a direct command.

Will do in future.

What I normally do is a simple yum -y update based on the previous days
rawhide update. I would imagine that as mono only appeared in the last 6
days (or so), that a package which previously didn't need mono now does
and that dragged it in and for some reason, I've missed it.
