[SOLVED] upd pandoc to 3.5-6 missing shared libraries liblua5.4.so.5.4

I updated pandoc-cli (3.5-5 -> 3.5-6)
From then I had the error :

pandoc: error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.4.so.5.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I fixed it with this symlink :

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s liblua5.4.so liblua5.4.so.5.4

But I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do

Generally: no.
In this case "temporarily".

lddtree /usr/bin/pandoc # https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pax-utils/

to see where this is coming from
libHSlua-2.3.4-D9xiGy8WplmkqTrTrHBAY-ghc9.6.6.so links liblua.so.5.4 - but I can confirm that pandoc wants to resolve liblua5.4.so.5.4 (no, I'm not going to install haskell to check locally )

This will most likely be fixed later today, I also reported it to the maintainer earlier

Wow thanks you are fast, I was on my way to write a bug report on the pandoc package. Hopefully you posted earlier and directly on the right location that is libHShslua-2.3.0
