Hi,
I think this is being looked into already, but I can confirm this. I  
am using two systems currently, one is case-insensitive (at work) and  
the other case-sensitive (at home). On my case-insensitive system the  
upgrade went smoothly, on the case-sensitive one it failed. This is  
probably some upstream issue, but I hope it can be patched here.
