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

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

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

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

Have you tried running sudo apt-get install libtiff5? if there are no failed dependencies on it, you can download libtiff5 manually, install it and try mono-devel again... otherwise keep walking down the dependancies to find the package that is causing the issue on your system... – SushiHangover
No I didn't. After doing it I have again en error message : vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo apt-get install libtiff5 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libtiff5 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 'libtiff5' has no installation candidate – ManWithNoName
libtiff5 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

Try running this: 

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus

If it results in:

~~~
libgdiplus : Depends: libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable
~~~

Then you need to get the older libjpeg62 package:

wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libj/libjpeg6b/libjpeg62_6b2-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg --install --recursive --auto-deconfigure libjpeg62_6b2-2_amd64.deb

Now you can:

sudo apt-get install mono-devel
sudo apt-get install monodevelop

New mono versions need libtiff5 package version >=4.0, and Ubuntu 12.x hasn't this package. But this package version depends on other new packages or existing packages with newer versions...

There is a working solution (on amd64 platform):

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fonts-freefont/fonts-freefont-ttf_20120503-4_all.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fonts-freefont/ttf-freefont_20120503-4_all.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig-config_2.11.0-0ubuntu4.2_all.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/libfontconfig1_2.11.0-0ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/j/jbigkit/libjbig0_2.1-3.1_amd64.deb

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tiff/libtiff5_4.0.6-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg --install --recursive --auto-deconfigure fonts-freefont-ttf_20120503-4_all.deb
