It is not a bug, but intended as requested by a lot of users. To mimic the
pkg_info behaviour.

pkg info -q shows nothing on purpose as well as pkg info -q is used by the
scripts like portmaster or by the ports tree and only the return value is
checked
0 means something was found 1 means nothing was found.
