I use `pacstrap -U` to install locally forged packages in a dedicated folder.
this dedicated folder already contains some files and some of these files are causing problems for `pacstrap -U` (eg. `pacman -U`).i'd like to be able to use `--overwrite` option and pass it from `pacstrap`.is it possible to pass options to `pacman` via `pacstrap` ?
It seems pacstrap is passing any additional flags to pacman:

So you should be able to pass options using e.g.:
$ pacstrap -U /mnt linux -- --overwrite
