Package: fsharp
Version: 4.0.0.4+dfsg2-1

Dear Maintainer,

(Sorry to be reporting a bug in an experimental package, feel free to
close if you don't want to track this sort of issue here.)

In order to run Hypelib http://hypelib.github.io/Hype/ and DiffSharp
http://diffsharp.github.io/DiffSharp/index.html, which requires F# 4.x,
I did an "aptitude install fsharp/experimental" and then rejected
solutions until it got one that only removed old libraries, and
upgraded/installed a heap of stuff including in particular the
experimental mono packages.

Invoking fsharpi or fsharpc dumped core.

Then I noticed that

$ apt-cache policy libfsharp-core4.3-cil
libfsharp-core4.3-cil:
  Installed: 3.1.1.26+dfsg2-3
  Candidate: 3.1.1.26+dfsg2-3
  Version table:
     4.0.0.4+dfsg2-1 0
          1 http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main amd64 Packages
 *** 3.1.1.26+dfsg2-3 0
        850 http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages

When I installed libfsharp-core4.3-cil/experimental, fsharpi and fsharpc
stopped dumping core and started to work.

Currently the dependency on libfsharp-core4.3-cil is unversioned.
It should probably be versioned like the libmono* libraries.

                                        Cheers,

                                        --Barak.
