Here are couples of instructions about dealing with broken packages.

As usually, fully update your system before reporting bugs and don't
forget about enabling community-testing along with multilib-testing(if
necessary)

What to do when one of your favorite application returns:

libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

do

$ LD_DEBUG=files yourapp > yourapp.log 2>&1
$ grep libpng14.so.14 yourapp.log
$ pacman -Qo /path/to/soname/that/links/to/libpng14.so.14

If is not from the repo, rebuild it yourself, otherwise, report it on
our tracker.
