the /usr/lib64 symlink to /usr/libs is wiped out everytime....

for the last 1-2 months every time and in all my systems(like 6-9 of them) everytime pacman upgrades/updates the linux kernel, my lib64 gets wiped, at first
I notice the hard way... having to bang my head against the wall for hours.. because of a kernel panik relating to not finding init, until I saw some post of people accidentally deleting them.. I knew for a fact I did not.
still I though it had to be me. then it happend in 3-4 other of my machines with the same fix, boot from bootable usb, re-create the symlink...and works..
then I though hmm odd must be a bug they will fix.. after 2 months I just had the issue again on my work laptop and this morning on my home PC.. is a fast fix
because have the bootable arch usb with me on my keychain.. but is a pain in the ass... is anyone recently having this same issues?
I wonder if is just me, if is me.. I may need to change something in all my computers that have changed officially and I have not notice.. or is a bug for people that we run our setups from 1-2 years a go and just keep upgrading.

Thanks

Nope, nothing in Arch should do that. pacman logs?

ya I already check I prob need to make it more verbose since im sure must to be something on the hooks

```

but is way to much coincidence that only happens when pacman gets a new linux only and also on all my arch linux machines... so if is not to all of you then must to be something I have on it...

Post the full pacman.log please, not just the part you think is relevant.
