+humf :p
+wrong paste when chekcing something else
+so it's 
+urpmf --requires libffi.so.5
+for linked package against libffi
+& 
+ urpmf --requires ffi5-devel --media Core_SRPMS
+ urpmf --requires libffi-devel --media Core_SRPMS
+urpmf --requires --literal 'pkgconfig(libffi)' --media Core_SRPMS
+for the src.rpm having it explicitly in their BR.
