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.
