Note that the current behavior is, if a file has been deleted and a warning is reported by 'pacman -Qkk', pacman -Qo /path/to/file will still report which package is *supposed* to it.
for(i = packages; i && (!found || is_dir); i = alpm_list_next(i)) { if(alpm_filelist_contains(alpm_pkg_get_files(i->data), rel_path)) { print_query_fileowner(rpath, i->data);

That's true, thanks. I sent this patch because I mistyped a path in -Qo and
it only printed "file %mistyped_path is not owned by any package", without
warning me that the file did not exist.
So if this check is put somewhere after the file database query, it will
warn about mistyped paths to nonexistent files, right?

Yes, that seems reasonable. Can you submit an updated patch? While you are at it, commit messages are usually in the imperative mood, e.g. "add a check [...]" rather than "adds a check".
