Description:
xmonad installation seems to be broken due to missing dependency:
haskell-utf8-string.

It seems an updated version of haskell-utf8-string is in community-testing repository and required a newer version of ghc.

More reports of this issue are on this thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121455

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  fixed now, also ghc is moved into extra

I can confirm this, I have two running arch installs on a netbook and laptop with xmonad installed and:

pacman -Sy xmonad xmonad-contrib

runs without issue. However, on a an install I just finished yesterday on this desktop fails with the same errors as above.

Yep, I deleted some packages that moved to community from extra too soon. I'm doing the testing=>extra move currently, that should fix these issues once your mirrors gets hit with updates.

I think glibc needs to update.

Thanks. Shouldn`t ghc 7.0.3-2 also move from testing -> extra?

Can somebody please add [ghc] to the title so it's easier to find this bugreport?
