It seems to be happening elsewhere also: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/856

Also its more likely a locale issue than a terminal one because I get the same error when I replace the pipe with a redirection to a file.

And yet my locales dont seem to be odd in any way (I can see)

$ locale LANG=en_US LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL=

I would expect a unicode locale to look something like this:

So I'm guessing something is not set-up right for unicode output, and at least one of the Cabal package descriptions includes unicode output.

Yeah thats it: $ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ cabal list |grep -i graphviz * graphviz Synopsis: Bindings to Graphviz for graph visualisation.
