Pacman assumes that the final character of a line specifing a repo in pacman.conf is a "]". But it did not clean whitespace from the line after removing any comments. So lines like:

caused pacman not to recognize the repo. Adjust config parsing to strip comments before trimming whitespace from the end of the string.

I must have been dreaming... I could have sworn that we refactored one (or both) of our strtrim functions to return the length of the trimmed string, rather than repeating returning the same pointer as exists in our outvar.
