grr. my little keyboard on olpc...

quickinst ftp /mnt/arch ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686

<..>

error: problem setting dbpath '/mnt/arch//var/lib/pacman/' (could not find or read directory)

I fix this on line: 101

mkdir -p $DESTDIR/var/cache/pacman

with

mkdir -p $DESTDIR/var/{lib,cache}/pacman
