So it looks like this /lib is a directory.

And this one is a directory too.

febootstrap should be able to combine these:

https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap/blob/master/src/febootstrap.ml#L113

But for some reason that's not happening.  Probably the pacman plugin
isn't getting the type of one of the files correctly.

You'll have to enable debugging and perhaps add more debug statements
into febootstrap_pacman.ml, while running:

  ./src/febootstrap --names glibc ntfs-3g

until you can see what's going wrong.
