Might not be very helpful, but I'm also on Arch and I moved from using system-provided Haskell packages for my xmonad needs.<br>
<br>
System-provided packages are upgraded almost on every update, and xmonad has to be recompiled every time, and if you forget to recompile it then after a reboot your DE won't work and you have to drop to a tty to fix that.<br>
<br>
Also, there is a truckload of haskell packages and they clutter up the update logs - removing them freshened up things considerably.<br>
<br>
So I can't help you with this particular problem, but I can help you transition to stack-based install, which has the nice benefit of not breaking on system updates.<br>
(however, it has the downside of taking 13GB of space in the ~/.stack/ folder, YMMV)<br>
