Details

Description:
Running gives the error:
```
pandoc: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
As advertised, libffi.so.7 does not exist in /usr/lib, but the following do:
/usr/lib/libffi.so -> libffi.so.8.1.0
/usr/lib/libffi.so.8 -> libffi.so.8.1.0
/usr/lib/libffi.so.8.1.0

As a workaround, installing `libffi7` from the AUR allows it to function again.

Additional information:
pandoc-2.14.1-39
libffi-3.4.2-4

Steps to reproduce:
Run `pandoc` with any or no arguments

The current version of pandoc in community is 2.14.1-41 which is built against libffi.so.8.1.0.

It was a mirror issue after all. Updated the mirrorlist and it's fetching the correct versions now. Sorry for the false report. Consider it solved.
