What, that pacman -Ss returns every package? I'm pretty sure that's by design, so it's not a bug.
Yeah, I'm not sure what you were trying to do here at all- get a line count of packages with their descriptions? Seems like a weird statistic to me...
I see mainly two possible behaviors for "pacman -Ss" : 1) list everything 2) fail and print a help message asking for an argument I don't think the first one is problematic, but maybe he was expecting the second one.
