Uppercase letters are not valid in package names. I find it very strange that just removing S and leaving -CHBAX let it build though. Are you sure you didn't remove the entire suffix? In any case this seems like user error, so I'm planning to close it in a bit. I'm mostly interested to know if for whatever reason the -CHBAX was accepted, which it should have not. Thanks, Guillem
