[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1771025] [NEW] Please remove gnome-sharp2 from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

libgnome has been removed from Debian Testing and will not be included
in the Debian 10 "Buster" release. We should do the same. If we do it
now, maybe some projects will do the needed porting work away from
libgnome (porting to gtk3 is probably needed) in time for Ubuntu 20.04
LTS or Debian 10. Users who are hurt by these removals can keep using
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for a few years.

A major rdepends is gnome-sharp2 (This is Mono stuff). The replacement
is gtk-sharp3.
