Could not get file information for

Lately, I'm getting this.

warning: could not get file information for usr/lib/modules/5.16.5-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-kye.ko.zst

Can I assume that these are separate modules once installed and now included in the kernel, and so I can remove the packages?

Everything seems to work.

/ is the root of all problems.

Something removed those modules other than pacman?

Re: Could not get file information for

Came across this the other day, apparently when you have a DKMS version of a module installed, the in-tree version gets deleted. Not sure if it's DKMS itself or the pacman hook.
