[xmonad] Fwd: Re: xmonad packages broken in Debian

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [xmonad] xmonad packages broken in Debian Datum: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 12:33:38 +0200 Von: Michael Topp An: Eyal Erez Hi, if you're asking what distro maintains xmonad packages (the best), I count on Arch. They update all official 'xmonad' packages frequently, because their haskell packages themselves also are updated quite often (could be once, twice a week). – Alternatively you can make your own local xmonad build, independent from the distro. And sure, you also have to decide which compiler to use. I highly recommend consulting the wikis from both Arch Linux and Xmonad. HTH Am 03.07.22 um 05:07 schrieb Eyal Erez:

Does anyone know why the xmonad packages seem to be broken in Debian?

When I try to install libghc-xmonad-dev and/or libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev, I get an error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libghc-xmonad-dev : Depends: libghc-x11-dev-1.9.1-11a5c                      Depends: libghc-base-dev-4.13.0.0-2f220 but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-containers-dev-0.6.2.1-ab1cf but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-data-default-dev-0.7.1.1-958e3                      Depends: libghc-directory-dev-1.3.6.0-49fdf but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-extensible-exceptions-dev-0.1.1.4-10872 but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-filepath-dev-1.4.2.1-103b6 but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-mtl-dev-2.2.2-7208c but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-process-dev-1.6.9.0-88a89 but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-setlocale-dev-1.0.0.9-a89d6 but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-unix-dev-2.7.2.2-bb33f but it is not installable                      Depends: libghc-utf8-string-dev-1.0.1.1-866d7 but it is not installable                      Recommends: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev but it is not going to be installed

When I tried to enquire in the distros forums (which is a Debian variant) they indicated that the problem is upstream. Does anyone know what the issue is? Which distro to folks use with xmonad?  Where is it best supported?

There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.
