Details

Summary and Info: When completing successfully, pacman prints the message "No database errors found". This message is alarming at first, because it shows the feedback usig negative words ("No" in the beginning, and "errors found" in the end) and you have to read it again to understand it actually means a success. Of course, after a while using pacman, you get used to it, but considering it must be something easy to change, I propose using positive words like "Database updated successfully".

Steps to Reproduce: The message is displayed whenever pacman updates the system.

Pacman does not do that. Blame your wrapper script.
