:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

Do you want to skip the above packages for this upgrade? [y/N]

How to deal w/ this problem?

Re: [SOLVED] Xmonad is unresolvable dependency

It appears the new version of xmonad was moved to [community] from [community-testing] without haskell-extensible-exceptions also being moved at the same time. Either wait for this to resolve itself (the maintainer will realize eventually, I'd guess) or file a bug report.

You could also try to use [community-testing], but PLEASE read the wiki before doing so.

Re: [SOLVED] Xmonad is unresolvable dependency

Why don't you just use cabal to build and install xmonad. This will not end up in a chain of pains regarding dependencies which are hardly resolved with pacman....

The bug is already fixed, haskell-extensible-exceptions is now in Community. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … xceptions/
