It got another FTBFS bug (#1075284) recently. I've just tried to check which packages need mono, with `reverse-depends libmono-system4.0-cil` and with dak and skipping libraries and mono-related stuff. Looks like the main problem is keepass2. boogie - RFA, not in testing dafny - RFA, not in testing de4dot - dead upstream gbrainy - not in testing gnome-subtitles - not in testing keepass2 - looks healthy upstream and in Debian openmcdf - outdated in Debian but looks healthy upstream quickroute-gps - unmaintained, there is some upstream activity repetier-host - not in testing smuxi - orphaned xsddiagram - orphaned Besides, the following packages would need to drop mono/CIL support: diffoscope gdcm kamailio libsbml meson uwsgi virtuoso-opensource Overall, this doesn't look like a lot of work, *if* we decide to do it (and we can file RM bugs for many broken and unmaintained leaf packages in any case). -- WBR, wRAR
