[pacman-dev] [PATCH 3/4] libalpm: short circuit alpm_find_dbs_satisfier

[morganamilo]

when a satisfying package is already installed, we always pick it
instead of prompting the user. So we can return that package as soon as
we find it, instead of waiting until we've iterated through all the
databases.
