Changes (by dreixel):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid


Comment:

 The syb.cabal file (see
 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/syb/0.3.6/syb.cabal) mentions
 the extension `ScopedTypeVariables`, but if you load the file on GHCi you
 won't get this. This explains the difference in behaviour between `cabal
 install` and just loading the file on GHCi.

 The `RankNTypes` error itself is already reported as #6032. I think the
 best thing to do is to change `syb`; I'll release an updated version
 today.
