I am getting a long output with mostly yes, but also no-answers, e.g.
  checking for package garamondx [garamondx]... no
+checking for font garamondx-fonts [zgmr8r]... no
or
+checking for document class aapaper [aa]... no
+checking for document class foils [foils]... no
or
+checking for document class scrlettr [scrlettr]... no

(not only those, just some examples)

Should there be no 'no's' in the output of the command?

I am not sure what that means: Would it produce the no-outputs??
