[Haskell-cafe] Installation of package text failing installation on ghc 7.6.3

[Victor Miller]

I just downloaded the latest Haskell platform (I realize that ghc might not
be up-to-date in this) for my macbook.  I installed it, which appeared to
go without problems.  However, when I tried to update the package text, I
get the errors below.  I suspect that the first error (not recognizing ' in
a comment) cascades through the rest.    How do you suggest fixing this
(other than getting Bryan do drop the apostrophe :-))?
