I was going to upgrade monodevelop from 0.12 revision 1 to revision 2. Until now monodevelop depended on gtk-sharp and a few other sharp libraries. But suddenly gnome-sharp got introduced as a dependency. If I understand correctly, this is not actually necessary.
I am using a KDE-centric workstation and all I use monodevelop for is building beagle. I have even uploaded a modified version of beagle to AUR that does not install gnome-sharp as a dependecy since gtk-sharp is well enough. But now all the following crap (from a KDE point of view) gets pulled in with the update of monodevelop:
$ yaourt -Ss monodevelop
extra/monodevelop 0.12-2 [0.12-1 installed]
a mono port of SharpDevelop, a .NET Integrated Development Tool
$ yaourt -u monodevelop
1) extra/monodevelop 0.12-2 [0.12-1 installed]
a mono port of SharpDevelop, a .NET Integrated Development Tool

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] n
I do not think that this is necessary at all. Does anyone have more insight on this?

Try to remove it, it won't start anymore. gtk-sharp-2 had a splitup into gnome-sharp and gtk-sharp-2. Monodevelop is one of the programs that needed an extra dependency to continue working.

Thank you for quickly answering my question. Indeed, monodevelop does not run.
I just needed monodevelop for building beagle, but obviously the current beagle version builds without it, too. So I updated my AUR package and everything is fine again. No need for too much clutter.

Does still not fix all problems with monodevelop, see my other thread.
Since noone seems to have a hint for me, i'll file a bug report this weekend.
Ability is nothing without opportunity.
