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.
