DetailsI was hoping you could add the ability for "pacman -Qo" to follow symlinks. It doesnt seem to.
Now, I know that some packages actually own symlinks, but I figure that if the actual symlink isn't owned, it would follow it to the actual file automatically. Thanks, Ben. |

Sorry, -Qo needs to treat symlinks literally all the time, so it can accurately report whether one is owned by a package or not.
