I have been having this for a couple of days - narrowed it down to this point - but not sure why it happens - maybe either you guys know? @philm@oberon@Ste74
My packages is git-r2948.aa976ed-1
While building rootfs - just after the installation of pacman-mirrors
--> Using build locales ...
mount: /data/build/mjro-roots/buildiso/openbox/x86_64/rootfs/etc/resolv.conf: mount point is a symbolic link to nowhere.
==> Prepare [drivers repository] (mhwdfs)
--> overlayfs mount: [/data/build/mjro-roots/buildiso/openbox/x86_64/mhwdfs]
--> Restoring [/data/build/mjro-roots/buildiso/openbox/x86_64/mhwdfs/etc/pacman.conf] ...
mount: /data/build/mjro-roots/buildiso/openbox/x86_64/mhwdfs/etc/resolv.conf: mount point is a symbolic link to nowhere.
And thus fails getting the sync databases
:: Synchronizing package databases...

there is a broken “resolv.conf” symlink replacing this fixes the error.
Of course if you know how to fix the broken symlink that would be even better?
For your info there is no symlink in testing just a resolv.conf file which is what I have used.
Bad News someone has fixed the symlink but it doesn’t work neither does my work around now.
Fixed used resolv.conf from testing and used it to replace the symlink. It is very strange as the testing resolv.conf only has this in it but at least it works again.
# Resolver configuration file.
# See resolv.conf(5) for details.
