Description Carl George 🤠 2021-05-07 01:54:37 UTC

Description of problem:
fluidsynth has a pending update to 2.1.8 in EPEL7 [0] to resolve bug 1955613.  However, this update bumps the soname of fluidsynth-libs from libfluidsynth.so.1 to libfluidsynth.so.2.  This is a breaking change which is against EPEL Policy [1].  Several EPEL7 and third party packages can no longer install until they are rebuilt against the new soname.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fluidsynth-2.1.8-4.el7


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install audacious-plugins-amidi
-or-
1. dnf install vlc # rpmfusion


Actual results:
Uninstallable packages in EPEL7 and third party repositories.


Expected results:
Following EPEL Incompatible Upgrades Policy [2] to ensure all EPEL packages are rebuilt for the new soname, and to give third party repositories enough time to rebuild their packages too.


Additional info:
I've provided -1 karma on the update to prevent it from moving to stable.  Please follow the EPEL Incompatible Upgrades Policy [2] before moving forward with this.

Comment 1 Carl George 🤠 2021-05-07 03:05:33 UTC

I rebuilt audacious-plugins [0] to link against the new soname.  When you get to step 5 of the EPEL Incompatible Upgrades Policy, you need to create a new bodhi update that includes both fluidsynth-2.1.8-4.el7 and audacious-plugins-4.0.5-4.el7, which will obsolete the exiting bodhi update.
