Follow-up Comment #12:

Thank you for the pointer. And sorry for having broken that.

Taking a closer look at the new regular expression, it is possible that it
resulted in just matching the regular expression ".*" when trying to determine
which paths share a prefix to an installed package. That can happen if for any
installed package either the "dir" or (more likely) the "archprefix" field is
empty. The latter is the case if a package doesn't install any binaries.

I probably tested the original change while I had only packages that install
binaries.

That attached patch should fix that issue.
