As pointed out in this Github issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11282#issuecomment-450347268 this is probably an issue with permissions.
I can reproduce the error when I run `sudo pacstrap -c -d foo base` where `foo` is a directory owned by my regular user. If i create it with `sudo mkdir foo` and then run `sudo pacstrap -c -d foo base` then systemd is happy and all is well.
Can you confirm? If so, I think this bug could be closed? Or should pacstrap be printing a warning in this case?
