[SOLVED] xmonad is broken

I can't reload xmonad and I haven't changed my config:

$ xmonad --recompile
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/cemsbr/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

    Perhaps you meant DsMonad (needs flag -package-key ghc-8.0.2)

EDIT: reopen upon appeal ... for now.

Cemsbr, if you really had seen that other thread already, you should have linked to it in your description:

When asking questions, provide as much information as possible, including error messages, terminal output, logs, what you have previously tried, what documentation and searches you have attempted, and related configuration files.

Re: [SOLVED] xmonad is broken

The command of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=227580

cd ~/.xmonad
ghc --make xmonad.hs -i -ilib -dynamic -fforce-recomp -main-is main -v0 -o xmonad-x86_64-linux

gives me the same error. I tried to reinstall the package

pacman -S xmonad

and it worked. If this happens to many people, maybe there should be a new release (0.13-5) for the xmonad package.
