xmonad not starting after system upgrade

TheJaava · 2021-10-10 22:26:56

I ran

sudo pacman -Syyu

and then updated my system. There were a lot of haskell related thing in the update.
But after logging in with lightdm, I got a blinking cursor and then it kicked me out of the session into lightdm again. I tried starting it with startx which gave me funny output.

ibHSbase-4.14.2.0-ghc8.10.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked that xmonad-git is up to date which it is according to git pull on the aur remote.

How should I troubleshoot further?

You need to rebuild xmonad.

Trying to rebuild xmonad and makepkg is failing:

===> Starting build()...
Configuring xmonad-0.16.99999...

X11 ==1.10.*, data-default-class -any, setlocale -any

Welcome to haskell.

You have to install the depends as well (I have no idea what a private dependency is).

I still don't know what the issue was that broke it, but I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled using stack. Now everything seems to be working the same except the default cursor is different now and lightdm does not recognize xmonad to start a session. I've tried creating .xprofile to start xmonad but it is not working. Before everything worked out of the box and I'm not sure why it isn't anymore.
