I am trying to install MonoDevelop version 5.4.1.7 so that I can use it with Mono 5.4.1.7.
First I tried installing Mono 5.4.1.7 by following the instructions here http://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ except replacing stable-bionic with stable-xenial/snapshots/5.4.1.7 (there are no 5.4 snapshots for Bionic). This worked:
$ sudo apt install mono-complete
[...]
mono-complete is already the newest version (5.4.1.7-0xamarin5+ubuntu1604b1).
Then I tried to do the same thing with MonoDevelop. I followed the instructions here http://www.monodevelop.com/download/ but I replaced vs-bionic with vs-xenial/snapshots/5.4.1.7. This didn't work:
$ sudo apt update
[...]
All packages are up to date.
W: Conflicting distribution: https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-xenial/snapshots/5.4.1.7 InRelease (expected stable-xenial/snapshots/5.4.1.7 but got xenial)
$ sudo apt install monodevelop
[...]
Package monodevelop is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'monodevelop' has no installation candidate
I also tried changing stable-xenial to xenial, and sudo apt update no longer throws an error but it still can't install MonoDevelop.
Why doesn't this work? How can I install MonoDevelop version 5.4.1.7 on my system?
