[xmonad] xmonad packages broken in Debian

[Platon Pronko]

Hi!

What distro do you use?

Xmonad runs fine on quite a wide variety of distributions. From the error log
it seems that the problem is not in xmonad itself, but rather in the set of packages
being installed.

Can you give a link to this forum discussion?
