Bug Description

It appears that the Mono version included in Bionic Beaver is `4.6.2.7+dfsg-1ubuntu1`. This is a fairly outdated version considering that Mono 5.0 stable was released about a year ago. Many new Mono programs require a Mono version that is 5.x. For example, Godot states that they require Mono 5.4.

Without upgrading the Mono version, users of new Mono applications will have to manually add a repository to get the latest Mono. http://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-ubuntu
This is not ideal, we should upgrade the Mono version in the Ubuntu repos.
