You've probably been ignoring the warnings from pacman about file being newer than what's in the repos. file-5.12 was removed from [testing] because it was misidentifying kernel images, which broke mkinitcpio. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33373 This is fixed for good in mkinitcpio, as the next version won't rely on file at all.
