I've just now realised that this is the reason for the fact that in
this case we don't start to find a group. (We fallback to search_group,
iff alpm returns with PKG_NOT_FOUND.) So I am a bit unsure now, this
behaviour is better, because the group-name cannot contain
'/' (off-topic: however, repo/group can make sense, but that is not
implemented atm). Then we should just rephrase
PM_ERR_PKG_REPO_NOT_FOUND in alpm_strerror().
