Description Nigel Atkinson 2016-12-28 11:17:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

When using the Turkish locale, i.e. LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8, some of the configuration files for ssh have errors.

'Include' for example was not being recognised as 'include'.

I have tracked this down to the letter 'I' not being treated the same as 'i' when they should.

I've temporarily fixed my Fedora install by replacing 'I' with 'i' in the files:

/etc/ssh/ssh_config
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/05-redhat.conf

In addition and I am fairly sure this is related - While I was fixing the files using vim, the '~' command which usally swaps the case of the character under the cursor if it can, did not work for 'I'.

My guess this is an issue with i and the Turkish dotless i.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Each invocation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Either set your desktop preferences to Turkish, or adjust the LANG variable
2. Try to ssh somewhere.

Actual results:

/etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 56: Bad configuration option: Include
/etc/ssh/ssh_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options


Expected results:

shell prompt of remote host.


Additional info:

# Works.
LANG=C ssh somehost

# Errors.
LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 ssh somehost

Example of problem in vim:
write the alphabet on a line, then from the beginning of the line repetitively press '~' to swap the case of the character under the cursor. All will swap except 'i'.

Thank you for the report. This problem is already addressed in OpenSSH 7.4 (upstream bug [1]). I will update OpenSSH to this version soon.
