Just for clarifying, this can easily be reproduced by anyone. Just do # pacman -Sr /path/to/chroot <pkg> where pkg is one of the failing packages : lilo, vi, mlocate, fakeroot I used a quick hack to play with different scriptlets : edit one of the above packages directly (for example by opening the pkg.tar.gz in vim) to modify the .INSTALL scriptlet, and install the modified package with # pacman -Ur /path/to/chroot /path/to/modifiedpkg But I suppose the main goal is to have a successful base install with no scriptlets error, so this is the main test to get working : # pacman -Sr /path/to/chroot base
