Installing syb(-0.1.03) package in head version of Haskell

I'm guessing that is indeed the problem, though I cannot reproduce the error
(but I'm using Cabal-1.8.0.2).
Assuming this is the cause of the problem, what is the best correction?
Encoding the cabal file as UTF-8 or removing the accent? Do earlier versions
of cabal deal well with UTF-8?...
Cheers,
Pedro
