mkinitcpio error

Since device-mapper last update, dmsetup moved from /sbin to /usr/sbin
Now, mkinitcpio fails with this message:

[2013-02-12 17:23] ==> Starting build: 3.7.7-1-ARCH
[2013-02-12 17:23]   -> Running build hook: [base]
[2013-02-12 17:23]   -> Running build hook: [udev]

[2013-02-12 17:23]   -> Running build hook: [lvm2]
[2013-02-12 17:23] ==> ERROR: file not found: `/sbin/dmsetup'

For now, I solved the problem with a link. Is there another solution?
Thanks.

Edit: I suppose the problem was update order:  device-mapper, then kernel then lvm2. device-mapper and lvm2 should be updated together.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33828

I have also added symlink (as root)

ln -s /usr/sbin/dmsetup /sbin/dmsetup

and then re-run (also as root) the

mkinitcpio -p linux

command. But it's a nasty solution and definitely temporary.

Regards.

Re: mkinitcpio error

Just rebuild the images. It's an issue of order of installation. There's zero need to work around anything.
