Make sync error message smarter on unfound targets
We had two issues here. One is a file with an absolute path passed to -S results in a cryptic error message due to the database name being '\0'. The second is not realizing you should be doing -U instead of -S. Fix both of these to transform this: $ sudo pacman -S /tmp/binutils-2.21.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz error: database not found: to this: $ sudo pacman -S /tmp/binutils-2.21.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz error: target not found: /tmp/binutils-2.21.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz warning: '/tmp/binutils-2.21.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz' is a file, did you mean -U/--upgrade instead of -S/--sync?
