Workaround: install mono-debugger-devel (It's looking for /usr/lib64/libmonodebuggerserver.so, and that doesn't exist unless you install the devel package). In fact, considering that mono-debugger-devel consists of two symlinks, an pkgconfig file and a readme, I think the devel package should just be merged into mono-debugger proper.
No. There has been quite an argument over this. I know it seems daft to have the .pc file and blow all else in a separate package, but thems are the packaging rules. As for this problem, it's tricky. The .so is required by the main package, but the .so file is a devel file so needs to be in the devel package.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
