Package: python-qt4
Version: 4.3-7
Hello,
There is a bug in python-qt4 which causes software-properties-kde
to crash in Turkish locale (tr_TR.UTF-8). This bug is already
fixed in (K)Ubuntu. Please see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/97420
for more information.
Here's a summary of the bug:
When one tries to start software-properties-kde, it fails
with the following output:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not
stable yet
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)

setProperties
getattr(widget, "set%s%s" % (propname[0].upper(), propname[1:]))(
AttributeError: setindentation
The reason is the following lines in
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/properties.py" (which in
turn is a symbolic link to:
"/usr/share/pycentral/python-qt4/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/properties.py")
186 getattr(self, propname)(widget, prop)
187 else:
188 getattr(widget, "set%s%s" % (propname[0].upper(),
propname[1:]))(
189 self.convert(prop, widget))
190
Notice the use of .upper() on line 188. This is what
causes the crash. When one encounters a propname
whose first letter is 'i' (such as "indentation"),
because of the Turkish locale, that doesn't get
converted into regular English capital 'i'. It instead
gets converted to the Turkish capital 'i' with a dot
on top: Idotabove. Because for some reason python cannot
handle a Turkish capital 'i', software-properties-kde crashes.
I am attaching a patch which corrects the usage of
.upper() in the two instances in the mentioned
file.
Thank you for your attention,
situert
