Description
### Description
See http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/main/x86_64/libc-utils-0.7.1-r0.apk
It contains no files beyond a .dummy
We should detect such a package and report that it has no "files" as otherwise this can be a head scratcher
This was discovered by @chinyeungli when reviewing an Alpine docker image scan in ScanCode.io
