Reproduced on F19 with:

$ cabal install setlocale
$ cblrpm local setlocale
$ sudo rpm -ivh $(arch)/ghc-setlocale*
$ cblrpm local hgettext

> You can try  "ghc-pkg unregister setlocale" to uninstall the user library.

That fixed it for me.

I think this is fixed with the Cabal in ghc-7.6.3.
So upgrading to F20 should also fix this issue.

I am happy to help review the packages.
