=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a wrapper for all of the C<alpm_pkg_...> C library functions
of libalpm.  You retrieve the package from the database and you can then
access its information.

=head1 ACCESSORS

The accessors are named almost exactly the same as the C<alpm_pkg_get...>
functions. I have removed the get_ prefix on the accessors.  This is
because you can't really I<set> anything so you should know it's a get
anyways.

Attributes with plural names return an arrayref of strings.
I<depends> and I<files> return an arrayref of hashrefs.
I<db> returns an L<ALPM::DB> object.

=head2 origin

This should be either C<"file">, C<"localdb">, or <"syncdb">. If this returns C<"unknown"> something went wrong.

=head2 validation

This returns a string which can either be C<"unknown">, C<"none"> or one or
more of the following seperated by spaces:
C<"MD5">, C<"SHA">, or C<"PGP">.
