Description: dblatex fails with Use of \@xmultirow doesn't match its definition error

dblatex version 0.3.7-1
texlive-latexextra version 2016.42294-1

Since recently (probably since texlive-latexextra update from 2016.41473-2 -> 2016.42294-1 on 21-Oct-2016) all my asciidoc builds are failing with error:

This is grave debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=840189 where the issue and fix is fully explained.
Note I initially thought this was fixed by new dblatex release 0.3.9 and so just flagged it in the packages. I then downloaded the Arch PKGBUILD, changed the version and installed, but get the same errors. On re-reading the quoted Debian bug I now realise that Debian added a patch to the release 0.3.9 (see http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/d/dblatex/dblatex_0.3.9-1_changelog) so I guess I am hoping the Arch maintainer will do that also given it is a high priority bug.
