[arch-general] Updating linux-lts initcpios... error: command failed to execute correctly

Thanks, it hadn't occurred to me to use -Qo on a directory before.

Understood.  I was thinking along the lines of how a ./configure writes
to an agreed file descriptor other than stdout/stderr for more verbose
detail, that kind of thing, but there weren't extra messages to record
anyway given below suggests it's a SIGPIPE.  Would the exit status of
the hook have reflected that signal by being 128+13?

Okay.  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60735

It's very likely.  I know I did maximise the X terminal part-way through
pacman's run to unwrap lines.

I'll skip that, sorry.  Way behind with life as it is at the moment.
I've looked at the bug report and the patch and it seems sound.

I did this and it seems to have gone well.

Thanks for the prompt answers.
