#167: cabal-install should treat package names case insenitively in the UI
wherever possible
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: duncan | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new

Component: cabal-install | Version: 1.2.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.4.2
Platform: Linux |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Currently saying {{{cabal list haxml}}} works fine and returns hits for
{{{HaXml}}} which is good. The same does not apply when it comes to
{{{cabal list haxml}}}. So what it should do is to look case-insnesitively
for haxml. If the match is not exact case-sensitively and there are more
than one packages matching case-insensitively then it should abort with a
message listing the matches. This should not often happen since within any
single HackageDB server, we check that packages names are unique case-
insensitively but it's possible to get ambiguities if cabal-install has
been configured to use multiple repos.
