I manually compiled mono from the /tmp directory (4.9.1) and found that it was too unstable for me, so wanted to revert back to the install from the repos. I foolishly did a reboot before doing this, so the compiled code in /tmp had gone. So, I thought I'd remove the directory of where mono is installed and mark the package mono-complete as being automatically installed again.

(Un)Surprisingly, this did not work. Now, if I do a which mono it reports that it isn't installed. If I mono I get the same message. However, when I do an apt install mono-complete or mono-devel it reports mono-complete is already the newest version.

I have checked in the env and there is no reference to mono.

How can I sort this mess out and get back to being able to install mono from packages.

    I did restart, several times infact. I ran purge a few times for mono-complete, mono-runtime and mono-devel just to be sure, then restarted. I found I could then install from the repo and everything seems to be fine for now! – user3791372 Mar 03 '17 at 14:45
  • Mark the mono-complete package as not installed. Then search for every file and folder named mono at /usr/local and remove them. Now reinstall mono-complete from apt. And first of all: backup. – Phillip -Zyan K Lee- Stockmann Mar 03 '17 at 16:43
