I can verify that this has been a problem since at least yesterday as I had encountered the same thing while doing a fresh system installation. I had done another fresh installation several days ago and it seemed to be working fine, which leads me to believe that the problem is something recent.
I've installed Arch and XMonad many times in the past without encountering this issue, which leads me to believe it's a package problem and not a user error.
EDIT: I noticed that haskell-utf8-string was in the community-testing repository, so I added that (which I usually leave off). When I tried to add haskell-utf8-string it wanted ghc 7.0.3-2, which is still in "testing" according to the package database.

Indeed, I have the same issue.
haskell-utf8-string is not in any repo.
which would you choose: A god that never answers you or a society that embraces you?

Just created https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24862 for this.

I'm also seeing this issue on a fresh install. I've been trying to install this since 2 days ago.

Same issue here...

I also have the same issue. I have tried install it via Haskell cabal with no avail.

I should say the issue has been fixed. See
