Bug#866803: libghc-xmonad-dev: dependency problem with ghc 8.0.2-5

[Albert Dengg]

Package: libghc-xmonad-dev
Version: 0.12-5+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

there is dependency problem in unstable currently that prevents the
upgrade of the ghc package to the latest version (8.0.2-5 at the time of
writing) or prevents the installtion on a fresh install, here the output
of trying it in a bare chroot:
root at loki:/# apt install xmonad libghc-xmonad-dev
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

it looks like it needs to be recompiled against the new ghc.
