The packages linux and linux-firmware still get installed. I would prefer if there would be a way to install base, but without all of the irrelevant stuff for containers.
Hi, first run pactree -r linux-firmware pactree -r linux to ensure that without doubts nothing depends on those packages. It unlikely does. If the packages are definitively unneeded, build empty dummy packages and e.g. use the year as "epoch". pkgname=linux pkgver=05.16 pkgrel=1 epoch=2019 pkgdesc="Dummy package" arch=('any') provides=('linux') pkgname=linux-firmware pkgver=05.16 pkgrel=1 epoch=2019 pkgdesc="Dummy package" arch=('any') provides=('linux-firmware') I don't know if this workaround is need, but is should do the job.
