xmonad darcs, haddock, ghc and Ubuntu Intrepid
I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) and I'd like to switch from the default xmonad (0.8) to the xmonad in darcs. The ghc version is 6.8.2, which I gather is okay, but the haddock version is the ancient 0.8 version, which is not. However, if I try to remove haddock (in order to replace it with a newer version) apt then removes ghc as well! Any tips as to how to get around this?

You can simply install the new haddock without removing the old one, it works fine. However, the best approach is to build cabal-install [1] and use that to manage newer haskell libraries than are in ubuntu. [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/cabal-install
