CAVEATS
pacrepairfile determines whether or not to read files from stdin based on a naive check using isatty(3). If pacrepairfile is called in an environment, such as a shell function or script being used in a pipe, where stdin is not connected to a terminal but does not contain files to reset, pacrepairfile should be called with stdin closed. For POSIX-compatible shells, this can be done with "<&-".
In order for pacrepairfile to reset a file's properties, the package which owns the file must have MTREE data.
