error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.60

I've installed Obsidian via:

     $ sudo pacman -S obsidian

Though when I try to run it I get the following error:
    $ obsidian
    /usr/lib/electron/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea how to fix the issue?

Does that file exist?  If should, as it belongs to ffmpeg which is a dependency of electron.  Are you doing partial upgrades?  (and / or are you still using a different distro?)

What does `pacman -Q ffmpeg` show?
