Well, I’m still waiting for Igloo for the new ghc6.8 packages. He said
that he will look for shortly, but he hasn’t done it yet.

The quickest move for debian, besides having the new ghc packages in
place, would be a version of xmonad and X11 1.4 that compiles with the
old Cabal version, but I’m not sure if such a hack is worth the effort.


Greetings,
