If a user tries to install a pkgconfig that doesn't exist, the output just says there are no packages to install. This seems a little confusing. Would it be possible to tell the user that the thing they typed wasn't found?

Sorted, it how raises the same error as if you attempted to install a package name that doesn't exist.
