I'm trying to install Monodevelop from http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#debian-ubuntu-and-derivatives.
I'm using a virtual Box VM via Vagrant with an Ubuntu Precise 64 Guest OS
I have done this steps :
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-libtiff-compat main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
At this point, all seems OK. But when I want to install the first package "mono-devel" by typing
sudo apt-get install mono-devel
I have the following error message
vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo apt-get install mono-devel
Reading package lists... Done

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

I have also tried doing a "sudo apt-get upgrade" without any success.
I thought that apt could also download and install all package dependencies. Why the libraries files mentioned in the error message can't be loaded ?
How to solve the problem ? Is there a mistake somewhere ?
As SushiHangover advises me in the answer below, I have also tried to install libgdiplus but there is also an error message :
vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo apt-get install libgdiplus

After manually installed libtiff5 package :

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

sudo apt-get install libtiff5
? if there are no failed dependencies on it, you can downloadlibtiff5
manually, install it and trymono-devel
again... otherwise keep walking down the dependancies to find the package that is causing the issue on your system... – SushiHangoverlibtiff5
is available via ubuntu xenial @ packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libtiff5 . I would download the amd64 package manually, install it and try mono-devel again – SushiHangover
