Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:

In the dependencies for xmonad-contrib-0.16:
    xmonad-0.13 from stack configuration does not match >=0.15 && <0.16  (latest matching version
                is 0.15)
needed since xmonad-contrib is a build target.

Some different approaches to resolving this:

  * Set 'allow-newer: true'
    in /home/rharwood/.stack/config.yaml to ignore all version constraints and build anyway.

  * Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to attempt to find some working
    build configuration. This can be convenient when dealing with many complicated constraint errors, but
    results may be unpredictable.

  * Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps
    in /home/rharwood/xmonad-testing.git/master/stack.yaml:

xmonad-0.15@sha256:db671d78ecd66f39f23decf60974a3e078525ec9d2be68a3946b0cfb4d3954fa
