It is not sufficient for me to reinstall this package with this utf8 setting. (I think ghc-pkg needs to be fixed or maybe recompiled under utf8.)
There was a missing hSetEncoding, so that ghc-pkg is writing this file using the current locale rather than UTF-8, but reading it back as UTF-8. So I'm surprised that temporarily setting your locale to UTF-8 doesn't work around it - what happens?
No idea, the last step of installing is: Registering syb-0.1.0.3... /local/maeder/bin/ghc-pkg update - --global --no-user-package-conf -v2 The standard input passed to ghc-pkg is utf8 coded (independent of my LANG setting), but the output file written syb-0.1.0.3-2d8f18fd3343792a85816b191d973cea.conf is always ISO-8859.
