Details

I have installed packages from outside (downloaded pacman itself).

Installed bash, pacman and filesystem as advised in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Arch_from_within_another_distro#Install_Base_System

But decided to chroot into it instead of installing the rest from outside...

localhost root # chroot /mnt/archlinux /bin/bash
bash-3.2# pacman
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-3.2# exit

This looks like some missing dependancy for pacman (correct me if I'm mistaken).
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Use pacman.static if you want a single binary.

Gzip is in the base category of packages, which have typically not been listed as depends as nearly every package depends on two or three of them.

Try pacman.static instead if you wish to chroot, it is statically complied so should not require any external libraries.

So there's a way to install all base packages by a simple command, I suppose.
Thanks for the info.

Pavel: no, there isn't, but they should exist on every system.
