NEVER blindly type something in you read in a "HowTo", in a FAQ, or from here.
You should always know what a command you type will do ... and why.

That's because the line was typed in a hurry, without testing. The correct make show would be
show=PKGNAME

show=pkgname
It was an unintentional error, but I hope you can understand this lesson, mfaridi. Other commands you type blindly may cause damage.
