Yes, it was installed. The reason for that status was that no
mono-related packages could be fully installed, they all crashed at some
point during the installation.

However, I found the reason: I had Tomboy running. Ripping out all
mono-related packages, killing the tomboy process, and reinstalling,
allowed mono to work again.

Apparently, some mono upgrades require that all processes running under
an old runtime version be stopped. Retitling accordingly. No idea how to
detect or fix something like this – the only reason I have mono
installed is because of Tomboy.
