Details

Description:
Running lsinitcpio in the default --list mode prints nothing unless --verbose is also used. That's because _optverbose is initialized on line 9 as a binary flag (=0), but when it's used, it's expected to be a command-line argument. It evaluates to '0' as a string in bsdcpio's command-line, which then interprets it as a subset of the archive contents to list, so it prints nothing.

Present in git master as of right now.

You couldn't have reported this yesterday? ;)

Yeah, just call me slowpoke, I guess. I hadn't tried to use this mode until today. ;)
