Subject: [PATCH] Don't display filename on -Qip operation.
Some previous commits apparently broke the get_filename function for
package loaded with pkg_load (on a -Qip operation), so this field is always
empty now.
It would be easy to fill the pkg->filename field in pkg_load, but what is
the point?
Because it would be correct for libalpm to fill this field- remember

there could be other frontends. So I think we need to take the correct
approach rather than the easy approach. :)
It is not clear to me which is the correct approach because of this :

"Besides, on a normal -Qi operation, the filename is not displayed either
because this information is not stored in the local database."
