This should be moved to [core] quickly.
If you try to create a testing chroot, it will proceed to install the 'base' group. Problem is, net-tools-1.60-16 no longer belongs to that group, but the old version (1.60-14) from [core] does. However, the latter causes file conflicts with the latest coreutils package. :)
Workaround if anyone needs to create new testing chroots: - Hit ^Z after pacman has downloaded the database for [core], but before the initial database sync finishes. - Go into the chroot's /var/lib/pacman/sync. - Move core.db to core.db.tar.gz so that vim recognizes it as a gzipped tarball. - Edit the core.db.tar.gz file in place using vim and remove the base group from net-tools. - Exit vim and rename the database back to core.db. - Execute fg to resume the stopped pacman process. :p
