Pacman: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale

Hello Forum,

I am stuck with a problem to which I cannot find any solution after spending half the day trying to solve it:

I have a package wich I installed from AUR -> MyCustomRepository working nicely on my main Arch system. Now I would like to add the package to a livecd using the archiso scripts. When I add it to my packages.both list it downloads fine.
However when installation into chroot should start pacman gives me the following error:

(378/378) loading package files                    [######################] 100%
error: error while reading package /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pd-extended-0.43.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale.
error: failed to commit transaction (libarchive error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

My System only uses en_US.UTF-8 as locale, so I don't really understand why any conversion should be neccesary.

I read about a similar error somewhere with a reply stating it had  to do with packaging. No solution was given however. Can this be the case? And if yes, why do I not have any problems installling in my main system? And more importantly, how can I fix it? i don't really know where to look for the right way now.

I already tried to include a different packages from AUR through my repository, which worked as expected.

the package is pd-extended from AUR with a slight modification to make the .desktop file actually start pdextended.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dominik

Long shot but you may not have locale matching under chroot. Also assume custom repo is up to date (repo-add)

Re: Pacman: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale

I chroot into workdir. uncommented en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, run locale-gen and now get this inside the chroot.

[root@dArch2 releng]# chroot work/x86_64/root-image/
[root@dArch2 /]# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

this looks alright to me. Any more suggestions?

It's the first time I use a custom-repo and I set it up only for this purpose. So yes, it's up to date and can be used outside the chroot. Also a different package I put from AUR into my custom-repo installs fine and doesn't give this error.
How else could I test the custom-repo?

Re: Pacman: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale

Normally I load packages from package list into base system (via mkarchiso) provided pacman.conf is set up with your custom repo then pacman should load it to new root.

Only other thin I can think of is that I set locales in customize_root_image.sh (which is run under chroot)
