[xmonad] Could not load modules after recent update

[Eyal Erez]

I've tried some of the suggested solutions in the arch linux wiki, but they
do not seem to work.

I built everything from scratch using stack and seems to be back to
working. Thank you for the suggestion.

I built xmonad and xmonad-contrib off of the v0.18.0 and v0.18.1 tags
respectively. How and how often do you upgrade your installation?
