DetailsIn a clean installation from nothing, 'fakeroot' is getting installed too early, it would need to be after 'filesystem' and 'grep':
... ( 37/105) installing fakeroot [########################] 100% /var/lib/pacman/local/fakeroot-1.7.1-1/install: line 3: grep: command not found updating /etc/ld.so.conf... done.

This task depends upon
I suggest to install Base first before installing any other package.
The problem here is that fakeroot does not depend on grep, but this is not considered as a bug, because it is assumed that user has everything Base group installed (well, except for i.e. wireless_tools if you don't use WiFi - you've got the idea).
However if user installs more than just a Base from current.iso - there may be issues like this one.
@tpowa: could you change the installer in a way that will do installation of more than Base packages in 2 steps - 1st install Base packages, then everything else if checked?
wasn't fakeroot added to base as a dependency for pacman? Fakeroot should depend on the base pkgs it needs, otherwise pacman will screw up installation orders.
I've totally forgot it was added to base... %(
