could not stat file /etc/pacman.d/hooks/fwupdate-efi-copy.hook

I've just updated the machine and I think I missed some message.
I get this error whatever I do with pacman and it fails:

# pacman -R pcmciautils
checking dependencies...

Packages (1) pcmciautils-018-8

Total Removed Size:  0.05 MiB

:: Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] 
error: could not stat file /etc/pacman.d/hooks/fwupdate-efi-copy.hook: No such file or directory
error: failed to commit transaction (failed to run transaction hooks)

Fix /etc/pacman.d/hooks/fwupdate-efi-copy.hook

that's cryptic to me.

The file it was pointing to does not exist anymore...  why is that? and why is pacman looking for that hook specifically ?

ok I think I got what you meant: removing the symbolic link fixes the problem.
*duh*
