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.

[1] it might have actually been the same version of syb, but rebuilt with a
different version of the compiler or something..
