I was making a transcription error before, but after correcting it, it
still doesn't work:

# qlist -o $(qlist -ICv) | scanelf -Bs__guard -qf -  -F%F#s | xargs qfile
Usage: qfile <opts> <filename> : list all pkgs owning files

Options: -[ef:m:oRx:vqChV]
  -e, --exact          * Exact match
  -f, --from     <arg> * Read arguments from file <arg> ("-" for stdin)
  -m, --max-args <arg> * Treat from file arguments by groups of <arg>
(defaults to 5000)
  -o, --orphans        * List orphan files
  -R, --root-prefix    * Assume arguments are already prefixed by $ROOT
  -x, --exclude  <arg> * Don't look in package <arg>
  -v, --verbose        * Make a lot of noise
  -q, --quiet          * Tighter output; suppress warnings
  -C, --nocolor        * Don't output color
  -h, --help           * Print this help and exit
  -V, --version        * Print version and exit

Does anyone know what might be wrong?
