[SOLVED] systemd: "error: command failed to execute correctly"

I just upgraded my system with `pacman -Syu`. This upgraded the following packages.

Package (4)              Old Version  New Version  Net Change  Download Size
core/curl                7.54.1-2     7.55.1-1       0.03 MiB       0.89 MiB
core/libsystemd          234.11-6     234.11-8       0.00 MiB       0.35 MiB
core/systemd             234.11-6     234.11-8       0.10 MiB       4.22 MiB
core/systemd-sysvcompat  234.11-6     234.11-8       0.00 MiB       0.01 MiB

However, I got the following error running hooks.

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/5) Updating linux initcpios
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> Starting build: 4.12.6-1-ARCH
  -> Running build hook: [base]
error: command failed to execute correctly
(2/5) Updating udev hardware database...
(3/5) Updating system user accounts...
(4/5) Creating temporary files...
(5/5) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...

The error wasn't exactly verbose. What does it mean, should I be worried, and can/should I fix it?

You can rerun the command with the verbose flag for more output.

Re: [SOLVED] systemd: "error: command failed to execute correctly"

Thanks Jason. I reran the command it worked.

(I actually just reinstalled systemd and it worked this time. I had to rush home, my laptop wouldn't suspend, and I was worried that it wouldn't restart after shutdown.)
