This is the real fix. Thanks so much Sverre. I have fixed all case
changes with the aforementioned method. The following are the packages
that got renamed and gave much headache and I'd like to list them here
in case anyone with commit privilege may want to fix them from server
end.

net/py-METAR -> net/py-metar
net/Transmission -> net/transmission
databases/ruby-DBD-mysql -> databases/ruby-dbd-mysql
databases/ruby-DBD-sqlite -> databases/ruby-dbd-sqlite
databases/ruby-DBD-sqlite3 -> databases/ruby-dbd-sqlite3

Thanks again.
