Search all packages that install stuff to a particular dir [solved]

How can one use pkgfile or pacman itself (or anything util) to show any package that will write a file to a particular directory, for example, /etc/polkit-1/rules.d

$ for pkg in $(pacman -Sql); do
pkgfile -l $pkg                                     
done | grep "/etc/polkit-1/rules.d"

Only extra/polkit.

Edit: over thinking this.

$ pkgfile -g "/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/*"

Or, even simpler,

pkgfile -d /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
