Another patch sent [#1] to make this work with pacman 3.4 and fix 
cleanup step.

Otherwise second step fails. This is because in "create" function from 
mkarchiso at cleanup step, will only delete sync database files from 
pacman, but does not delete *.tar.gz (newer on 3.4), then sync files are 
not regenerated on pacman -Sy if .*tar.gz exists => packages not found.
