Hi, 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. I've tried the following, any suggestions would be most welcome:
cabal --version cabal-install version 2.4.1.0 compiled using version 2.4.1.0 of the Cabal library 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. For more information, see: https://wiki.haskell.org/Cabal/NewBuild Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org To revert to previous state run: cabal update --index-state='2020-02-24T08:44:25Z'

I've also tried upgrading cabal itself and I get the following:
cabal install Cabal cabal-install Warning: The install command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal usage.
Please switch to using either the new project style and the new-install
command or the legacy v1-install alias as new-style projects will become the
