Hi, thanks for your prompt reaction. If it was just a missing dependency, I'd not filled a grave bug report: debian:~# apt-get -t unstable --reinstall install mono-common boo Reading Package Lists...

Anyhow, if you can think of further tests that would help to isolate the bug, I'd be glad to run them.
