Arch Linux

An error occurs when trying to import the 'multiarray' python module from python-numpy and python2-numpy.

It seeks for libgfortran.so.4, but this library was replaced by libgfortran.so.5 during the gcc7 -> gcc8 upgrade.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

python-numpy 1.14.3-1
gcc-libs 8.1.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
$ python
>>> from numpy import multiarray
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
from . import multiarray
ImportError: libgfortran.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Original error was: libgfortran.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
