XMonad Errors After Update, and Upon attempted Reinstall [RESOLVED]

egan · 2010-08-25 00:53:47

I get an error now when starting XMonad regarding external libraries that I did not get a couple days ago.

Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/egan/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

xmonad.hs:18:17:
    Could not find module `XMonad.StackSet':
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

Please check the file for errors.

There were some haskell related updates a few days ago, and a couple xorg related updates more recently, but I have no idea the cause.
Just to check it out, I tried reinstalling XMonad:

egan@paijanne:~$ sudo pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib

What's up? Are there bad packages in the repo, or is there a problem on my end? How should I proceed to fix this?

Try reinstalling haskell-x11

egan · 2010-08-25 01:32:47

haskell-x11 reinstalls fine, but I get the same errors upon reinstalling xmonad and xmonad-contrib.

egan · 2010-08-25 01:53:23

Unfortunately the logs are of little help since they don't include the errors from ghc-pkg, so I cannot tell when xmonad originally broke, though before I started freaking out today, there was an update on the 18th (xmonad 0.9.1-4 -> 0.9.1-6, xmonad-contrib 0.9.1-3 -> 0.9.1-4). I rebooted on the 22nd with no problems. I will continue to inspect the logs.

EDIT: Here is the appropriate section of the logs

So perhaps reverting haskell-x11 might help...
EDIT2: Nope, too much dependency hell. I guess I'll have to wait until maintainers sort this out.

I too, am facing the same problem.

And i can confirm that this happened after upgrading haskell-x11.

lifeafter2am · 2010-08-25 05:35:47

I had this problem after an update last night. Reinstalled (updated) xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs and all was fine again.

egan · 2010-08-25 15:28:35

A pacman upgrade a few minutes ago resolved the issue.

EvanPurkhiser · 2010-08-25 15:46:22

I am still having this issue, xmonad cannont load XMonad.Util.EZConfig.

I am in class right now so I will report back with details later today if a upgrade doesn't fix it.

brisbin33 · 2010-08-25 16:18:21

i got this after the haskell-x11 update.

rebuilt haskell-x11-xft, xmonad, then xmonad-contrib via ABS and all was well. if using darcs from AUR, then rebuilding those should do the trick too.
