pacstrap breaks if you try to replace --root with --sysroot, since the --sysroot does not yet exist and does not have a pacman.conf. We could prepare the newroot by copying /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist within pacstrap, but this means if the pacman.conf differs from whatever the latest version of pacman has, it will be installed as a pacnew. Other than that, I cannot think of any reason anyone would wish to use --root. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
