I did not describe my fix, I described the problem. Here is another patch that removes the unnecessary greps. The redirection of stderr in this patch to /dev/null is only to avoid having it go to console during the compile.

It doesn't really matter if you have KDE installed or not, you can test the fix by making it search for a pkg that you don't have installed.

pkg_info -xc 'SomePkgThatIsNotInstalled' > test.txt
<pkg not found error to stderr>
cat test.txt
<nothing>

pkg_info -xc 'SomePkgThatIsInstalled' > test.txt
<no output>
cat test.txt
<the pkg information>

So, pkg_info returns nothing to stderr if the pkg is not installed, and returns the pkg information if the pkg is installed, thus the logic reversal in the if statement.

(I suppose you meant s/stderr/stdout/)
Thanks, I can see what you meant now. I'm OK with this, if you have verified that the patch works (I can't test it unfortunately).

Cheers,
