Hhm weird, i just noticed that the package has a description.
It just contains some additional "'s.
I dont know if this could be regarded as a pacman issue as well.
Redshift can you maybe add toofishes here too?
URL should probably be http://search.cpan.org/~stbey/Bit-Vector-6.4/ or similar.

Either that or its 100% a packaging problem and it shouldnt contain the additional "'s in the first place

pacman -Qi and -Qs works. pacman -Ss doens't. So it looks like a db problem. When the package gets included in the db, it looks like the description is skipped.

Notice the error. Looks like we just have a quoting issue, I'll see what I can do to remedy this.
