Description: Mono WindowsBase library (for CLI 2.0)
 Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on
the ECMA/ISO Standards. Mono is an open source effort led by Novell.
Mono provides a
 complete CLR (Common Language Runtime) including compiler and
runtime, which can produce and execute CIL (Common Intermediate
Language) bytecode (aka
 assemblies), and a class library.

 This package contains the WindowsBase library for CLI 2.0 which
provides the System.IO.Packaging namespace.

Should I try to hunt down the 1.0-2 version of
libmono-windowsbase3.0-cil? Somehow I don't think that is the answer.
What should one do here?

Thanks!
