626	Package build error due to unicode	basvandijk		"The following packages don't build on hackage due to the same error:

* http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regions-0.3

* http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ftdi-0.1

The [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/regions/0.3/logs/failure/ghc-6.12 log] contains the following error:

{{{haddock: internal Haddock or GHC error: dist/doc/html/regions/regions.txt: commitAndReleaseBuffer: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)}}}

I think the .txt file is generated because of the haddock {{{--hoogle}}} flag.

'''Note that these package make heavy use of Unicode syntax and symbols.'''

Note that {{{cabal haddock}}} works perferctly on my local system (tested with ghc-6.10.4 + haddock-2.5 + cabal-install-0.6.2 and ghc-6.12.1 + haddock-2.6.0 + cabal-install-0.8.0)
