[arch-general] arch-audit: pkg-audit-like tool for Arch Linux

[Ralf Mardorf]

Thank you,

I've got a stupid question. Is there the need to first update the
package database, before arch-audit could check if there are upgrades
available? I suspect it already gets this information when it parses
the CVE wiki page, so there is no need to update the package database,
right?

Regards,
Ralf
