Hello, I have found out why this bug occurs. It is because of the following part of PyQt4 in
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/properties.py: line 187 else: 188 getattr(widget, "set%s%s" % (propname[0].upper(), propname[1:]))( 189 self.convert(prop, widget)) 190 Everything looks fine. However, notice the usage of "upper()". One would expect this to work fine in the Turkish locale but it doesn't. Here's the reason: When a propname whose first letter is "i" is processed, because of the Turkish locale, the function "upper()" does not convert it into "I" (the regular English capital "i") but something else: Idotabove. (The Turkish capital "i" with a dot on top.) This bug occurs because there is a propname named "indentation" in software-properties-kde. (I found about this by inserting "print(propname);" just before line 188.) When this propname is processed, Python tries to convert the first letter to Idotabove but for some reason fails. When the attached patch is applied, the bug ceases to exists. However, a better solution would be fix Python itself so that the Turkish capital "i" with a dot on top would not affect anything. I apologize for my English. I am willing to try to clarify parts of this message which were not well understood because of my English.
