[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#663470: xmonad: Recommended packages of xmonad not installable on i386

[Matthias Liertzer]

Package: xmonad
Version: 0.10-3+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to install the latest version of xmonad on one of my older
(i386) computers failed to install all development-related packages
for xmonad. As configuration is done by recompiling xmonad the package
itself is rendered unusable for everyone who doesn't use the default
config.

In particular libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev, libghc-mtl-dev,
libghc-x11-xft-dev, libghc-xmonad-dev, libghc-x11-dev, and
libghc-transformers-dev can not be installed due to dependencies on
virtual packages, which can't be resolved.

The same bug was present for amd64 a few months ago, but was quickly
fixed back then.
