Description:
This package builds with the out of date libffi.so.7, it should be libffi.so.8 - this causes it to not start and spit out the error:

`You need to install the python bindings for gobject, gtk and pango to run Terminator.`

workaround:
To solve currently, you need to install libffi7 from AUR to get it to work. see https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/528
This task depends upon

From the linked ticket: File "/home/breigner01/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>

You're loading things from your home dir. This isn't a package issue, this is an issue with you using pip and not rebuilding things when they need to be.
