Exactly.  I retreive and print out the following items from the returned array:

name
version
release
epoch
id
arch_label

As stated, I get results for 1015 of them, but not for the 24 listed
for some reason.  For those, I get absolutely no output at all for any
of these fields.

When I go into the GUI and do a search for each of these packages, I
get results for all of them without issue.

Here is the pid that is returned in the URL for each of the 24 (last column)
