We copy a pacman.conf tailored for chroot builds, and we use that in the isos too. We need to copy the proper pacman.conf to the iso, or restore the default.

There should be no difference between pacman.conf from pacman package and our pacman.conf files for builds.
If there is a diff, we should just update the files, but, we don't have the stuff uncommented as the thread reports.
CacheDir is commented, and CheckSpace option is also present and commented in both conf files.

Now, here is the golden washing machine question.
What edition was used to install? Was a custom pacman.conf used in the iso profile?

I am seriously thinking about removing support to add 3rd party repos to buildiso.

This problem is present in the main editions, nothing to do with custom pacman.conf.
CacheDir should be commented, and CheckSpace should be uncommented.

We are overwriting the default pacman.conf https://github.com/manjaro/packages-core/blob/master/pacman/pacman.conf.x86_64 with the pacman.conf tailored for chroot builds https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-tools/blob/master/data/pacman-multilib.conf, which is fine when creating the iso, but we don't restore the original file before squashing. So all isos end up with a wrong pacman.conf, without CheckSpace enabled.

Ok, so we won't copy pacman.conf in chroot-run and rely on the pacman.conf provided by pacman pkg.
This makes custom repos not possible, which is fine with me.

Ok, makes sense. Then we should not copy the pacman.conf ...
