Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH v2] Handle provides with -Q

It is useful to be able to use "pacman -Qi" on any dependency, even if that dependency is a provide. For example, on Arch Linux systems, "sh" is provided by the "bash" package, and many packages depend on "sh". Querying the package that provides the "sh" dependency currently requires first searching for "sh".

This patch allows the use of "pacman -Qi" on a provide.

Fixes FS#20650.
