[arch-releng] Liveruser issue with 50.1-1

[Marco Obaid]

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 permissions
(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 the
liveuser entries from the airootfs/etc/passwd and airootfs/etc/shadow, the
build resumes and the iso is built.

...
[mkarchiso] INFO: Done! Packages installed successfully.
[mkarchiso] INFO: Copying /etc/skel/* to user homes...
[mkarchiso] ERROR: Failed to set permissions on
'work/x86_64/airootfs/home/liveuser'. Outside of valid path.

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

profiledef.sh looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# shellcheck disable=SC2034

iso_name=arcolinux-dev
iso_label="arcolinux-dev-v21.01.1"

Thank you in advance for any hints!
