  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any suggestions and help appreciated.

Hello


You can install hwinfo if you either disable epel-testing or filter
out (yum --exclude) libx86emu-3.5-1.el7. This package was pushed to
epel-testing and indeed, hwinfo which depends on libx86emu would need
a rebuild against it.

Thank you for the response.

It looks like libx86emu-3.5-1.el7.x86_64 is in the main epel repository.
   Using --disablerepo=epel-testing, nor disabling repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo caused the issue to go away.

You are correct in that hwinfo can be installed by using
--exclude=libx86emu, but is still looks like there is a packing issue??

This just recently happened in EPEL8 too [0].  I've created a
corresponding bug for EPEL7 [1].  This incompatible soname bump in
libx86emu is not allowed by EPEL policy [2].  If an update like this
must happen for security reasons, it should follow the incompatible
upgrades policy [3], which includes discussion on this list and
announcements on epel-announce.  Obviously that's not what happened
here.  The quickest fix is to rebuild hwinfo against the new soname.
I did that for EPEL8 a few days ago, and just submitted the EPEL7 one
now.  Follow along in the bugzilla for future updates.

Or, as a short term kludge, can you force the installation of both packages and then symlink libx86emu.so.1 to so.3?
