"An idiosyncratic feature of the Turkish language is that the letter
'i' in Turkish is not the lower-case version of the letter 'I'. This
issue breaks standard POSIX string case comparison on strings
containing the character 'i'. This issue affected the curl package
shipped with Mandriva Linux 2009, which ultimately caused it to be
incapable of handling URIs of the form file:///somefile in Turkish
locales. In turn, curl is used by webkit, which is used by the
Mandriva Linux Control Center, ultimately resulting in the Control
Center not rendering icons in its user interface when run in Turkish
locales. The bug likely also has other implications for curl-based
applications in Turkish locales.

The fixed package includes a fix for this issue, so that curl will
correctly handle file:///somefile URIs in Turkish locales. As a
consequence, the Mandriva Linux Control Center now properly renders
icons in Turkish locales.");
