Details

When running tools like mkarchroot or arch-nspawn without root, the check_root function is meant to automatically escalate to root. But, when it does this, it quietly discards any options passed like -C/pac_conf or -c/cache_dirs, and the newly exec'd script does not know about them.

This behavior should either be fixed or documented.
This task depends upon

Thanks, but devtools issues reside in GitLab these days [1]. But don't worry, I've already reported the same problem [2]
