What about the symlink discussed in the bbs topic?
The symlink worked for me.
As noted in the bug report and the forum thread the symlink hides the error but is not a fix, as "sha512" is an argument being passed to another command rather than a command in itself.
True. However with the symlink trick my PC booted fine whereas I am not sure it would have booted fine without any change at all (I use the proprietary nvidia drivers). In any case, I have removed the symlink, downgraded dkms and kmod, added them to the ignore list in pacman.conf, and reinstalled the kernel and its headers (and the lts version) and all is good. The reason for downgrading kmod is a warning, which may be harmless but I did not want to take chances. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75218
