Digikam not starting due to wrong version of libavcodec

ffmpeg 2:6.1.1-7 seems to ship libavcodec.so.60, but digikam 8.3.0-5 says it needs libavcodec.so.61
The digikam package page says digikam needs libavcoded.so.60
Is there a packaging error here?

paul@StudyDesktop:~$ pacman -Q digikam
digikam 8.3.0-5

paul@StudyDesktop:~$ digikam 
digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.61: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

paul@StudyDesktop:~$ pacman -Q ffmpeg
ffmpeg 2:6.1.1-7

paul@StudyDesktop:~$ pacman -Ql ffmpeg | grep libavcodec.so
ffmpeg /usr/lib/libavcodec.so
ffmpeg /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.60
ffmpeg /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.60.31.102

No. You did a partial upgrade one way or another.

OK, thanks. Maybe because I'm tracking kde-unstable then, I'll see what happens when Plasma 6.1 is officially released.
