The fact that pkg was case sensitive was a bug, which has been harmless for a while, until people started playing with packages named "FreeBSD-" vs packages named "freebsd-" with the same suffix. Note I just figured a bug which makes the pkg.conf setting which determines this behaviour bugging and not working consistently everywhere (well actually working in most cases). I am fixing this part right now. Best regards, Bapt
