Details

Description:
xmonad appears to now require the "haskell-mtl" package, but pacman doesn't know that.

Additional info:
* tested with xmonad-0.9.1-1

The text shown when installing is, before installing haskell-mtl:
...
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [##########################] 100%
ghc-pkg: cannot find package xmonad-0.9.1
error: command failed to execute correctly
(1/1) upgrading xmonad [##########################] 100%
xmonad-0.9.1: dependency "mtl-1.1.0.2-23ca4de7c573fd4df309067199a40634" doesn't exist (use --force to override)
Reading package info from stdin ... done.
error: command failed to execute correctly

after installing haskell-mtl:
...
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [##########################] 100%
ghc-pkg: cannot find package xmonad-0.9.1
error: command failed to execute correctly
(1/1) upgrading xmonad [##########################] 100%
Reading package info from stdin ... done.

, and xmonad was at least partially broken until reinstalling with haskell-mtl installed.

Steps to reproduce:
install (in my case reinstall) xmonad, without haskell-mtl
This task depends upon

Aha! So it only needs i686 rebuild! My fault, I only checked x86_64.
