Okay, bug tracked down.
/usr/share/mono/MonoGetAssemblyName.exe is used as part of the package
installation process to register a package in the GAC. This app is
linked against libmono-corlib1.0-cil, but doesn't depend on it. Without
that app working, the manifest file which is used by the purge process
(/usr/share/cli-common/packages.d/*.mono) is incorrect, and therefore
doesn't lead to package removal (i.e. when the "gacutil" command is
executed to run the remove, instead of getting a list of assemblies to
remove (e.g. "Mono.Addins, Version=0.4.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756"), it gets "The assembly mscorlib.dll
was not found or could not be loaded."
This is too late to fix in Jaunty, but will be fixed in Karmic. For now,
if you've purged all of Mono, then it's safe to delete /usr/lib/mono/gac
** Changed in: mono (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
