Run aptitude with "-D" to get a bit more information about dependencies.
Even better, use the glorious "aptitude why(-not)" command:
$ aptitude why mono-runtime
i xwine Depends libgnomeui32 (>= 1.4.2-3)
i A libgnomeui32 Depends gnome-libs-data (= 1.4.2-37)
i A gnome-libs-data Depends gnome-bin
i A gnome-bin Suggests gnome-core
p gnome-core Depends gnome-applets (>= 2.20.0)
p gnome-applets Suggests tomboy
p tomboy Depends mono-runtime (>= 1.1.8.1)
It seems that tomboy would be to blame on my system. You result may be
different, of course.

Why not? The unresolved dependencies are only recommendations and gamin
largely (or even completely?) replaces fam, AFAIK.
