I had read the options in man pacman, but did not snap to the fact that it would work for a 'archroot' that was not a fully mounted arch install. Since the only interface to the archroot was through 'makechrootpkg' and 'arch-nspawn' I for some reason thought a direct pacman call would not work in this situation. I'll give it a shot, but still have that uneasy feeling.... I did manage to get past the issue last night by fixing PKGBUILDs, rebuilding, and reinstalling -- rather than removing. -- David C.
