There's another one (p5-something-Japanese-related, IIRC), too.

To make it possible to do checkouts on case-insensitive filesystems, 
we'd have to rename these packages directly in the repository, which 
isn't a nice thing to do for other reasons.

I'd love to see this resolved sooner rather than later, but I think 
we'll have to wait until such time as we switch to some other source 
control system to take care of it properly.

Which case-insensitive filesystem are you stuck with, and on which 
platform?
