You need to run pacman -Fy first. I believe it's in the manual.

Thank you. But the warning message confused me, they are same for command -Q, -S and -F (maybe other commands), however from pacman(8), -Q and -S use the package database, but -F use the files database. I think it's better to suggest an action when some database file is missing.
