You have given the links for every file examined. Do we need that much information? Is there use beyond a global list for the package? That would also have the advantage of simplifying the format (no need for % symbols) which would simplify writing clients to generate rebuild lists or integrity checks etc.
I have thought about it. But the db files are already small and if you don't need that information you can pipe it through "grep -v '%' | sort -u". On the other hand one could use that information for optdepends, possible split candidates or if you want to know which feature of package a needs pacakge b. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
