    Opening a project that has primarily been on Windows on my Linux machine and for some reason Unity isn't recognising the "Packages" folder. Instead it is creating a new folder called "packages".

    The upper case version has the `manafest.json` with all my imported packages so I'm thinking its important. Now its showing up in git changes so im wondering if I should ignore it or what?

    Thanks for any help in advanced

    [Edit] I deleted the folder closed down Unity and reopened the project and it wasn't generated this time and everything seems to be working as normal... I don't get it??

    I don't really know how to reproduce though which is why I didn't initially send report... I did update to 2018.3.3 so maybe it was something to do with 2018.3.0?? Seems odd if so. But ill try reproduce and then send bug report.

    So are you sure Unity made the packages lowercase folder? Possibly the uppercase Packages folder or the manifest.json had non-write permissions?

    `-rw-r-r--` user has read write, but does the group the need rw as well?

    Here is what all of mine look like:

    drwxr-xr-x 2 username username 4096 Dec 13 13:51 Packages
    -rw-r--r-- 1 username username 1683 Jan 22 13:32 manifest.json

    So I guess yours are fine.
