Just a wild guess, but the package description has this non-ascii text:

It could well be Latin-1 encoded, rather than UTF8.
No, syb-0.1.0.3/syb.cabal is UTF-8-encoded (conforming to the Cabal docs).
I had similar issues when attempting to install a new version of syb over an old version[1]. I had to open this file in emacs: /usr/lib/ghc-6.13/package.conf.d/syb-0.1.0.3.conf and the do: M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system utf-8 I think there was a point in time where something wrote contains to that file as latin1 instead of utf-8 or something. - jeremy [1] it might have actually been the same version of syb, but rebuilt with a different version of the compiler or something..
