pacman -Fs stopped working

I love the feature of pacman that tells you what package provides a certain file. But recently, it stopped working. When I do, e.g.

pacman -Fs /usr/bin/sed

it does not print any output.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong? Or at least how I can further debug the problem?

Thanks!

-Fs does not take a path; you want -Fo.

If you want to know which package a file belongs to, use the -o option.
