Package: xmonad
Version: 0.8.1-3
Severity: important
The libghc6-xmonad package searches for ghc binary during build but
Debian only provides ghc6.
This can be worked around by adding /usr/lib/ghc-<version>/bin into the
path. However,
xmonad --recompile
also needs this directory added into path.
Otherwise it fails to build xmonad from the user configuration file but
does not report any error.
This would also likely happen if user created a configuration file and
did not have the recommended -dev packages installed. Recompile would
file without giving any reason.

ok, I’ll close the bug then. If it appears again (for you or someone
else), it’s likely a bug in the ghc6 package.
Greetings,
