libreoffice won't run, mismatched libboost shared libraries

Fresh arch install yesterday:

[david@compaq-mini ~]$ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_locale.so.1.81.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK so missing shared objects:

[root@compaq-mini ~]# ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin |grep "not found"
        libboost_locale.so.1.81.0 => not found
        libboost_filesystem.so.1.81.0 => not found
        libboost_iostreams.so.1.81.0 => not found
        libboost_filesystem.so.1.81.0 => not found

Yup they exist, but wrong-version:

[root@compaq-mini ~]#  ls -al /usr/lib/libboost_{locale,filesystem,iostreams}.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     29 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so -> libboost_filesystem.so.1.83.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 136768 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.83.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     28 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so -> libboost_iostreams.so.1.83.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  83360 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so.1.83.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     25 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_locale.so -> libboost_locale.so.1.83.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 591468 May  3  2024 /usr/lib/libboost_locale.so.1.83.0

Now I can find the following, but it doesn't contain the boost so.1.81.0 binaries... so where do I get them from?
