Description:
I'm not a developer, just a PhD student who use [vtk] through [python-pyvista]. So excuse me if my explanation is wrong.

[python-pyvista] require [vtk]. And [vtk] has [verdict] listed as optional dependency.
[python-pyvista] doesn't require [verdict] as it is just the API to [vtk].
When importing pyvista in python, it import vtk which seeks "libverdict.so.1.4", but can't found it. This library is provided by [verdict] package.


Additional info:
* [python-pyvista] 0.38.1-1
* [vtk] 9.2.6-2

Steps to reproduce:
1) Ensure you haven't the package [verdict] is not installed (pulled by you or other packages).
2) Then run : $ python -c "import pyvista"

You should have a similar output as below:
