haskell-x11-extras conflicts with a required package?

I've been using Xmonad for a little while now, and have recently aquired a second monitor, so I read up on how to configure dual head setup.  It seems I need to install haskell-x11-extras before reinstalling xmonad.  I use yaourt to do this, and it builds OK with the exception of a few warnings about depricated use of defaultUserHooks (safe to ignore this?).  When it starts to install an error states that this package conflicts with haskell-x11.  So I remove haskell-x11 and try to install haskel-x11-extras again from the .pkg.tar.gz but then I get an error informing me that it requires haskell-x11 !

So I'm stuck in an infinate loop and may have inadvertantly broken time & space.  Sorry about that

Anyone know how I can fix this?  My goal is to use xmonad in dual head setup so if there is another way that avoids the extras package altogether, then I'd like to hear it please.  So far, my mouse pointer can traverse to the second screen and back again but I can't send any apps over to it.

i'm at work at the moment using an inferior operating system, so the above was from memory but if anyone needs me to post the exact ouputs I'll do it when I get home in a few hours.

Thanks
