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.

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

                     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?
