 The following packages don't build on hackage due to the same error:

 * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regions-0.3

 * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ftdi-0.1

 The
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/regions/0.3/logs/failure/ghc-6.12
 log] contains the following error:

 {{{haddock: internal Haddock or GHC error:
 dist/doc/html/regions/regions.txt: commitAndReleaseBuffer: invalid
 argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)}}}

 I think the .txt file is generated because of the haddock {{{--hoogle}}}
 flag.

 '''Note that these package make heavy use of Unicode syntax and
 symbols.'''

 Note that {{{cabal haddock}}} works perferctly on my local system (tested
 with ghc-6.10.4 + haddock-2.5 + cabal-install-0.6.2 and ghc-6.12.1 +
 haddock-2.6.0 + cabal-install-0.8.0)
