grffile is a deprecated LaTeX package, but it is included in TeX live
2021 (Arch). The Arch version of TeXlive is identical to the official
version (except that it does not include the documentation, which must
be installed using an AUR package). My recommendation: unless you are in
Arch or one of its derivatives, it is better to always install *the
official and lastest version* of TeX live (with its own installer and
its own package manager); the versions included in the repositories of
many distros (except for Arch and very few others) are usually outdated
or incomplete, and it is better to avoid them. The current version of
TeXlive is TeXlive 2021. There is, by tradition, a version per year and
in each one many things are modified and quite bugs fixed.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
