Ok, thanks for the hint. That was the case indeed. However, I solved
it in another way: purging everything :-) It seems that the only
application that needed this mono stuff was tomboy, which I tried once
and don't use anyway. Not all unconfigured packages disappeared when
deinstalling tomboy, I had to purge them manually one by one, taking
care not to break anything, and eventually all the packages above
could be removed from my system.
Now errors in my system have been reduce to one, only one:
Preparing to replace libcairo-perl 1.043-1 (using
.../libcairo-perl_1.060-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libcairo-perl ...
dpkg: error processing

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Fortunately, this does not seem to block other packages upgrades, as
the original perl problem did, but it's still annoying.
