expac -Ss returns empty when DBPath is uncommented in pacman.conf

[alfplayer]

Even if it's left to the default value which is /var/lib/pacman/

E.g.: expac -Ss %n

Are you sure your problem isn't fixed by ea25d7e51c2236e739aef2718499781dd37ef53d?

[alfplayer]

Yes, I tested this with git HEAD and expac 4-2. And on multiple systems. I also tested it adding a search pattern as argument.

As described in your original report, I can't replicate your bug at HEAD (but I can at the v4 tag). Could you provide your whole pacman.conf?

[alfplayer]

I've just replicated it again on a clean installed system. pacman.conf only differs in that character from the original. Here I compare package.git version with my version uploaded to http://ix.io/fnE

$ curl -s https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/pacman.conf.x86_64?h=packages/pacman > pacman.conf.packages
$ curl -s http://ix.io/fnE > pacman.conf.alfplayer
$ git diff --word-diff pacman.conf.{packages,alfplayer}

To confirm the version:

[root@archlinux-latest-vanilla expac]# ./expac --help |& head -1
expac 4-1-gea25d7e
[root@archlinux-latest-vanilla expac]# ./expac -Ss %n .

Thanks, your config shows me what the problem is. Should be fixed by d4ab6ef08723c2c47802fd56222bf6105919ec3b.

It works here now. Thanks.
