+Subject: [PATCH] Fix test failures on Darwin on a case-sensitive fs
+
+This issue was encounetered while working on a contribution to nixpkgs.
+Nix allows the store to be installed on a separate, case-sensitive APFS
+volume. When the store is on a case-sensitive volume, these tests fail
+because they try to use `foundation` instead of `Foundation`.
