Debian packages uninstallable on Debian #418

The OpenBVE 1.7.1.1 Debian binary package at https://openbve-project.net/download/ depends on mono-runtime >= 5.20.1. Contrary to the information on the page, no such version is currently available in any Debian release; stable (Buster), testing and unstable all have version 5.18.0.240. The package is thus uninstallable on plain Debian. Perhaps it can be installed with the help of the Mono project repositories, haven't tried yet.

Correct, unfortunately we need the Mono provided packages.

This is incredibly frustrating, but the blunt truth is that Debian's base Mono version is well over a year behind the current Mono stable release.

I believe the main game will work on lower Mono versions, but a lot of the developer tools will not, hence the package restrictions.

We really ought to start our own repository and split the tools and game into separate packages.....

Testing and unstable now have Mono 6.8, which appears to work.
