Installing dependencies in reverse breaks the case matching deployer

[luckyone89]

For Skyrim Special Edition (Not tested with other games)

If someone tries installing a mod, and it's requirement backwards (first the mod then it's dependency), it breaks the case matching deployer. This break can only be fixed if all the chain of mods from the required to the final mod needing it are deleted and the mods are redeployed.

My setup

Steam (non-flatpak)
Limo (flatpak)
protontricks (flatpak)

All these applications were configured to be able to access all the correct resources and folders.

Moved the limo staging folder to another one on my home folder. (This bug was also seen with the default staging folder)

What to do to reproduce the issue

1. Open Limo
2. Install the mod
3. Install the dependency
4. Deploy once

What to do to fix the issue

1. Delete all the mods requiring the dependency
2. Delete the dependency
3. Redeploy

I believe to have found the issue. Could you verify whether you are using symlink deployment for your Data deployer?

Yes I was using it and after trying the hard link deployer I can also say that the exact same bug is also happening with it.
