Was that a too quick blind typing mistake? In any case, I have tried the 4 pairs of {,#}DownloadUser = alpm and {,#}DisableSandbox. My command line was # mkarchroot -C /home/user/pacman.conf /home/user/chroot/root base-devel 1. With #DownloadUser = alpm #DisableSandbox mkarchroot succeeds with an exit code of 0. 2. With DownloadUser = alpm #DisableSandbox which is the default configuration of /etc/pacman.conf, mkarchroot failed with an exit code of 255. 3. DownloadUser = alpm DisableSandbox mkarchroot failed with an exit code of 255. 4. #DownloadUser = alpm DisableSandbox mkarchroot succeeds with an exit code of 0. As an aside, my /etc/pacman.conf has DownloadUser = alpm #DisableSandbox and does seems to work. Such a setting is the default configuration of /etc/pacman.conf.
