This is a problem for me, too, and easily reproduced in a container:

```
podman run -it --rm docker.io/library/archlinux:base-devel pacman -Syu --noconfirm ffmpeg4.4
```

The x264 (164-64) is in staging repo. I think that is not released yet in extra repo.

Seems like ffmpeg4.4 has been built againt the Staging repo.
