Hi,
This morning's `pacman -Su' had a problem building the fallback initcpio
image for 4.14.79-1-lts. Yesterday's /var/log/pacman.log shows
[2018-11-06 10:45] [ALPM] upgraded linux-lts (4.14.78-1 -> 4.14.79-1)
[2018-11-06 10:45] [ALPM] running '60-linux-lts.hook'...
[2018-11-06 10:45] [ALPM] running '90-linux-lts.hook'...
that all went well.
Today, package `linux-lts' wasn't upgraded but 90-linux-lts.hook was
triggered. 60-linux-lts.hook wasn't. pacman's TTY output complained
`error: command failed to execute correctly' and the list of `Running'
build hooks didn't complete. The same steps for package `linux'
immediately after didn't have the same problem.

I was hoping pacman.log might have more detail, but it doesn't even
record that there was an error. I think that's a bug.

Where should I look for clues why the command failed?
And after that, is attempting another build of the image as simple as
`/usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux-lts' as root?
