Hi,

mono-tools-gui and monodoc-browser depends on libwebkit1.1-cil, which
is deprecated in favor of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (provided in Debian by
webkit2gtk). These should be ported to the new webkitgtk version so we
can remove the old, unmaintained one.

Please try to do soon as we're going to try to remove the old webkitgtk soon.

I am filing this bug as "serious" since the old webkitgtk will not be
available in the next major stable release of Debian (codenamed
"buster").

I am attaching a patch in my next email to drop the dependency. This
means that the ilcontrast tool will not be available, but I think it
may be better than losing the whole package!

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

On behalf of the Debian WebKit Maintainers,
Jeremy Bicha
