I've recently tried to upgrade xmonad to the latest version but have been experiencing some problems. My guess is that the version I'm getting from cabal is conflicting with Fedora's packaged version, but I'm not sure how to disentangle.
> cabal update
Warning: The update command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal usage.
Please switch to using either the new project style and the new-update command
or the legacy v1-update alias as new-style projects will become the default in
the next version of cabal-install. Please file a bug if you cannot replicate a
working v1- use case with the new-style commands.

hackage.haskell.orgTo revert to previous state run:
cabal update --index-state='2020-02-24T08:44:25Z'
> cabal install xmonad

All the requested packages are already installed:
xmonad-0.15
Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway.

In order, the following would be installed:
xmonad-0.15 (reinstall)
cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
xmonad-contrib-0.16
xmonad-contrib-0.15
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.
