cpupower missing library

After a recent upgrade, when I attempt to use cpupower, I get the following
message:

    cpupower: /usr/lib/libpci.so.3: verion `LIBPCI_3.5' not found (required by cpupower)

I haven't changed any of the setting for cpupower recently and everything was
running smoothly before. Now I can't query the cpu settings any longer.

$ ls /usr/lib/libpci.so*
        /usr/lib/libpci.so
        /usr/lib/libpci.so.3
        /usr/lib/libpci.so.3.4.1

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: cpupower missing library

Is your system fully up to date?  ( pacman -Syu )
Either you did a partial update (Not supported) or you had (have) a stale mirror.   pciutis is at 3.5.

Edit.  No it is not.  It is 3.4.  Sorry.  I have testing enabled where it is at 3.5.    Looks like you may have found a packaging glitch

Re: cpupower missing library

Yes, my system is fully up to date. I have not intentionally done a partial upgrade and I changed the mirror, but pacman -Syyu still does not update any packages.

How might I get this back to functional?

OK, is this something that I should report?

Yes, I would file a bug report against cpupower.   Although, this will probably sort itself out when the library moves out of testing.

Re: cpupower missing library

Given your answer, is it safe to assume that you are at least semi-responsibile for this package and I should just wait on a dependency fix here?

Re: cpupower missing library

No.   I m not responsible for this package.  Yes, it is reasonable to just wait a bit
