Description:

Running pacstrap (via archiso) emits error messages like

==> Creating install root at work/x86_64/airootfs
==> Installing packages to work/x86_64/airootfs
warning: option --root is deprecated; use --sysroot instead

As far as I can tell this is triggered by line 355 in /usr/bin/pacstrap, which uses an undocumented option "-r" (probably short for --root) of pacman.

Changing "-r" to "--sysroot" lets pacstrap (archiso) fail with:

==> Creating install root at work/x86_64/airootfs
==> Installing packages to work/x86_64/airootfs
error: config file work/pacman.conf could not be read: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
This task depends upon
