[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Allow leading "local/" in query operations

[Allan McRae]

I find that when copying the output of "pacman -Qs foo" into a
"pacman -Qi" operation to get more information on the packages, I
consistently copy the "local/" prefix. It is a minor usability
improvement to strip this if present.
