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.

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.
