Greetings,
After upgrading archiso to 50.1-1, I am running into an issue when
building
the Archiso. The build stops at a point when it attempts to set

(see below). The same process works fine in archiso 49-1. "liveruser"
exists in both airootfs/etc/passwd and airootfs/etc/shadow. If I remove

liveuser entries from the airootfs/etc/passwd and airootfs/etc/shadow,

Any advice on how to overcome this? Reviewing the documentation did not
yield any success.

Thank you in advance for any hints!

I think this is because the default work_dir (i.e. "work" in the current
directory) is not parsed with realpath.
To work around it for now, set the working directory explicitly using
mkarchiso -w /path/to/workdir . Most of the time you'll want to set it
explicitly to somewhere under /tmp/ anyway.
Thank you! ... Initial test passed. I will be doing more testing this
weekend. Will follow-up with results.
