Missing dependencie for realvnc-vnc-viewer in arch Linux (libcrypt.so.1)

A dependency (libcrypt.so.1) is missing when I try to launch realvnc-vnc-viewer on arch Linux. It prompted these error each time I try to launch vnc-viewer with command line : vncviewer: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have libcrypt.so at version 2.0, but it seems that vnc-viewer only work with version one.I have downloaded realvnc-vnc-viewer with pacman and I can't launch the app anymore.
Any ideas?
