But arch has pandoc in pacman. All you have to do is `pacman -S pandoc`



Right, but look at its dependencies. Arch links haskell packages dynamically, so you easily end up in DLL hell.


Yes it links them dynamically. Why is that a problem? How would that end in DLL Hell? (which is multiple versions of dlls around and different pieces of application using different versions at same time in same process and never being sure what is using what)
