/usr/bin/mono is symlink to /usr/bin/mono-sgen in mono-3.10.0-1.x86_64 and that dependency is not satisfied, i.e not pulled automatically what's worse, is that mono-sgen is packaged into mono-devel: $ ls -l /usr/bin/mono lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 jaan 24 15:20 /usr/bin/mono -> mono-sgen* $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/mono-sgen mono-devel-3.10.0-1.x86_64 -- glen
