>From the commit message, https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev/commits/6452035a0fe16cff7e7ff959c07b52f2708cf2a0 "Also, the genius that decided to use the case-sensitive spelling of a package's filename within buildsystem has ensured that there will *always* be future repository problems since most of the developers (e.g. Barry) have case-insensitive filesystems. This will be problematic for bisection as well." Basically, the package name has to be lowercase for the file to download (notice the link is all lowercase). P.S. - Why all the Apple hate? You can change the filesystem to be case-sensitive, if you'd like.
