   That should already have been tackled (although there might be some libs that were missed): https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/36553 / https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/36554. 
   Of course, that's still a generic message, while in theory for conda-forge we could give a more useful error message pointing to the additional package they have to install. But I am not sure that's something we want to bake into pyarrow.
