Bingo. Thank you Jadon. That is exactly what I needed. I had read the options in
man pacman, but did not snap to the fact that it would work for a 'archroot'
that was not a fully mounted arch install. Since the only interface to the
archroot was through 'makechrootpkg' and 'arch-nspawn' I for some reason thought
a direct pacman call would not work in this situation.

I'll give it a shot, but still have that uneasy feeling.... I did manage to get
past the issue last night by fixing PKGBUILDs, rebuilding, and reinstalling --
rather than removing.
