https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=597

See http://hydra.cryp.to/build/696615/nixlog/1/raw for a complete build log
that shows the issue. It appears that XMonad/Util/Invisible.hs doesn't
import Applicative.

This appears to have been fixed since mid-July in darcs by the patch
titled "derive Applicative instances to suppress AMP warning".

This issue is marked as "Fixed", does it mean that `cabal install
xmonad-contrib` should not fail anymore? Or does it try to install
some "stable" version of the package? If so, how can I install the patched
bleeding-edge version?

Sorry for such an uneducated question, but Haskell development/package
management
are quite a mystery for an outsider :)

"Fixed" means that things will work without extra effort at the time of
next release.

To get the bleeding-edge version, follow the instructions for installing
from darcs on the official instructions at http://xmonad.org/download.html;
that is:

darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib
cabal install ./xmonad ./XMonadContrib
