I tried this, but got "There is no installed version of base".
I found some solutions offered for this on the web but none of them worked. I then reinstalled all the packages (Debian Sid) but still the same error.

Hmm... base is part of ghc. Please pastebin or attach the output of `ghc-pkg list' and `ghc-pkg check' and we can help troubleshoot.
Also, on #xmonad@freenode IRC people are often to help without requiring too long a lurking period after asking a question.
So much for installation being smooth and easy for everyone.
