Please reply with the output of dpkg -s libghc-x11-xft-dev | grep -e '^Status' -e '^Version' -e '^Provides' Hello, Here is the output of the command: dpkg-query: package 'libghc-x11-xft-dev' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. So I figured I should install it with `sudo apt-get install libghc-x11-xft-dev` Status: install ok installed Version: 0.3.1-11+b1 Provides: libghc-x11-xft-dev-0.3.1-c557c With is exactly the version that was asked for 2 days ago. So I did `sudo apt-get install libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev` and now it worked. I do not know if any `apt update` did the trick. I also found in between that I was missing `deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib` in my source.list I hope I did not do anything wrong and made you lose your time. But if it was indeed broken it seems fixed now. Regards, Sacha
