Description:
The post_upgrade function uses grep on ParserDetails.ini to check if the xml parsers need to get installed. If grep returns "0" hits, it executes two commands to install them. Since the ParserDetails.ini file is not part of the package and apparently was just recently introduced, the file may no exists and therefore the grep command returns an error message and, instead of a number of hits, an empty string. In the end, the parsers are not installed on systems where this file does not already exist.

[2015-03-30 08:45] [ALPM] upgraded perl-xml-libxml (2.0117-1 -> 2.0118-2)
[2015-03-30 08:45] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] grep: /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini: No such file or directory


Solution: add an additional check if the file exists. See attached file as example.

Additional info:
* perl-xml-libxml 2.0118-2


Steps to reproduce:
   perl-xml-libxml.install (0.5 KiB)
