I'm so sorry, Xmonad started... When I saw black screen I thought something's wrong, but that was just background...
So everything's fine...

Re: xmonad installation: dependency ... doesn't exist

I am still curious - how can I get rid of those dependency errors? I don't understand how I an use that --force tag.

Re: xmonad installation: dependency ... doesn't exist

There seems to be a problem with the .install file of both xmonad and xmonad-contrib  . Submit a bug report.
