Archiso - failed to install packages to new root

I am trying to use Archiso to create a .iso but seem to constantly get the following error:

==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

original command:

mkarchiso -v -w /tmp/archiso-tml/ -o ./archlive1 archlive1/releng/

above the message is a list of xorg font files after which a message saying "exists in filesystem".

I have tried:
- reinstalling archiso
- clearing /tmp/archiso-tmp
- re-making the archiso profile

Re: Archiso - failed to install packages to new root

Are you root?

Try to clear pacman cache:
pacman -Sdd

Then, run everything again. Sometimes it fails because it cannot find some package that became already outdated.
