I also saw this. It seems to have sorted itself out, but I had
previously relinked depmod, which had previously effectively been
linked to /sbin/usr/bin/kmod, as follows:

graton% ls -al $(which depmod)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun  8 21:53 /sbin/depmod -> /usr/bin/kmod

Notice that the link is absolute rather than relative. As a
precaution, I ran:

graton# pacman -S linux
warning: linux-3.4.2-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

And it was fine.
