All, Calvin,

  Building in a clean chroot has changed significantly on Arch. My TDE build
relies on being able to create and index a 'local' repo in $CHROOT/root/repo and
add packages and update the index as each package is built. The appropriate
entry is in $CHROOT/root/etc/pacman.conf:

[local]
Server = file:///repo

  The files are copied to $CHROOT/root/repo and the index built with:

repo-add local.db.tar.gz *.xz

  A stub PKGBUILD is then created with:

depends=('apetag-git'
         'libkarma'
         'libnjb'
         'libutempter'
         'mt-daapd'
         'musepack-tools-svn'
         'tde-tqt3'
         'wv2'
         'xmedcon')

  Now 'sudo mkchrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT' results in the following error:

  Calvin, do you know what changed in chroot building on Arch that causes the
local repo to no longer be found? I've posted on arch-general as well.
