From: Ivy Foster <iff@escondida.tk> Query operations act on the local db, not the filesystem. Also, a valid use case for -Qo is to discover what package owns a deleted file so it can be reinstalled. Closes FS#55856. Signed-off-by: Ivy Foster <iff@escondida.tk> --- I've opted to simply remove the relevant error messages here, since there's a good chance that the user is aware that the file is missing if they're querying a missing file. As a side note, this removes the sole usage of the translated error "failed to find '%s' in PATH: %s\n". I have not deleted this string from every .po file, but that option now exists. src/pacman/query.c | 16 +++------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/pacman/query.c b/src/pacman/query.c index 024d3e21..64c42f19 100644 --- a/src/pacman/query.c +++ b/src/pacman/query.c @@ -171,19 +171,9 @@ static int query_fileowner(alpm_list_t *targets) filename[len--] = '\0'; } - if(lstat(filename, &buf) == -1) { - /* if it is not a path but a program name, then check in PATH */ - if(strchr(filename, '/') == NULL) { - if(search_path(&filename, &buf) == -1) { - pm_printf(ALPM_LOG_ERROR, _("failed to find '%s' in PATH: %s\n"), - filename, strerror(errno)); - goto targcleanup; - } - } else { - pm_printf(ALPM_LOG_ERROR, _("failed to read file '%s': %s\n"), - filename, strerror(errno)); - goto targcleanup; - } + /* if it is not a path but a program name, then check in PATH */ + if((lstat(filename, &buf) == -1) && (strchr(filename, '/') == NULL)) { + search_path(&filename, &buf); } if(!lrealpath(filename, rpath)) { -- 2.15.0
