So I wanted to update my machine. Issued the usual:

And it seems that I wanted to update to 6.6.60-1, but I am running on 6.6.59-1-lts:
[matelakat@homer ~]$ uname -a
Linux homer 6.6.59-1-lts #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 01 Nov 2024 06:29:43 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So I had to re-install the old kernel, and then everything went just fine:
[root@homer ~]# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-lts-6.6.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
So now doing it again:
[root@homer ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date

So that reproduces the issue. I need to figure out how this could be changed.
