pixi differs from Conda in terms of case-sensitivity of package names

[twrightsman]

Hello! I've noticed pixi 0.1.0 is case-sensitive with package names whereas Conda is more forgiving.

conda

$ conda search -c conda-forge cuDNN=8.8
Loading channels: done
# Name                       Version           Build  Channel             
cudnn                      8.8.0.121      h0800d71_0  conda-forge         
cudnn                      8.8.0.121      h0800d71_1  conda-forge         
cudnn                      8.8.0.121      h459966d_0  conda-forge         
cudnn                      8.8.0.121      h459966d_1  conda-forge

pixi

Using pixi add:

$ pixi add cuDNN=8.8
  × could not determine any available versions for cuDNN on linux-64. Either the package could not be found or version constraints on other dependencies result in a conflict.
  ╰─▶ Cannot solve the request because of: No candidates where found for cuDNN 8.8.*.

Using pixi install:

$ tail -n2 pixi.toml 
[dependencies]
cuDNN = "8.8.*"
$ pixi install
  × Cannot solve the request because of: No candidates where found for cuDNN 8.8.*.

We landed conda/rattler#285 in rattler recently and updated pixi to use this as well in #321 . This should then be fixed.
