Yeah, that's a mess. The postgresql.conf entries could be fixed by hand,
but if you've got "Turkish_Turkey.1254" in pg_database.datcollate or
datctype then there's no easy way around that.
I think really the right fix is a whole bunch of WTFs directed at
Microsoft. I can understand wanting to support the Turkish_Türkiye
spelling, but not having a backward-compatibility entry for the old
spelling is a colossal blunder -- especially in a minor OS release.
Aren't these the same people who prize backward compatibility at
any cost?
