It's a bug, I think it comes from me using backticks earlier and then
switching to system calls, I thought I had gotten rid of it. It has
never affected the functionality for me, that's why I haven't noticed
it earlier.

Are you having problems with pkgutil because of this? I want to know
if I need to release a fixed package or if it can wait for the next
normal release.
