Bug#876240: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev: unmet dependency libghc-x11-xft-dev-0.3.1-c557c

[Sacha Delanoue]

Package: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to install libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev by doing
`apt install libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev` on an up-to-date 9.1 Debian.
The install failed with the following information:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev : Depends: libghc-x11-xft-dev-0.3.1-c557c
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I am no expert in Debian, but a search on the Internet lead me to this:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/392888 stating that this kind of errors
in expected in Sid. But since I am using stable I reported it.
