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?

I also put this question when I reworked that part. I implemented filename printing there in order to make 'pacman -Qip *.pkg.tar.gz' and similar commands more readable. Since irl filename usually refers to the package itself, and keeping this would cause more complexity, this can be removed, indeed.

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."

A bit offtopic: To be honest, I never understood the logic here. -Qip would be -Ui or something like this in my mind. Bye
