        This would be what I would like to have seen in my
case...

I was the one who glazed over on xorg-x11-libx11, which in my email
looks pretty different than xorg-x11-libX11, but whatever font I 
was using in my term, just didn't catch my eyes well enough.

Stumped me why rpm would say it wasn't installed (xorg.x11-libx11),
but zypper would refuse to install it claiming it was already installed
(it substituted the 'X').

Would be fine with me if it had told me it corrected my capitalization
then I'd immediately have known my problem.  I VERY much with you
on NOT liking all the mixed-case names throughout linux being unique.

They are a pain to memorize/remember.  Hard enough to remember the
case, but at least there we have the 'sound' of the word in our heads,
but how does a lower case letter sound different from an upper case
one?  (Is that like the sound a letter raising its case and lowering
it again when no one is looking?)

Case ignore is more friendly -- I agree, but explicit message that it's
helping me would help me get real name right for utils like rpm that
are not so friendly.
