Hi,

I do not understand what happens there: You obviously need mono-core for
development. But do you really need both architectures? Why does yum
think so? And if, why should mono-devel.i386 depend on mono-core.i386
and not just on _any_ mono-core package?
Looks like at least one yum bug and/or package bug to me.

regards

christoph
