no libmagic.so.1 after pacman -Syu; which package supplies it?

I recently did a pacman -Syu and am still recovering from some issues. The most recent is that the play binary will no longer run. From the CLI I get "play: error while loading shared libraries: libmagic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when I try to run play. I've done some web searching but so far am unable to determine what Arch package might supply this library. Can anyone clue me in to which package I will need to install to get libmagic.so.1? And/or what is the best way to find out which libs and related files are included in any given Arch package?

Thanks,
James

libmagic.so.1 is owned by file. So: pacman -S file

You might also want to look up a script called "pkgfile".

Thanks for the replies. The play binary is now working. I'll investigate the pkgfile utility.
