Here is bugreport on Fedora bugtreaker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142166 Here is commit which triggered issue: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mpg123/c/ff3cc66c959172330ab3f1ab3abada1f7d90bf3c?branch=rawhide

A quick fix to keep the same mpg123 version would be to: git clone https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mpg123.git

cd mpg123

Remove the line that has --disable-largefile and remove the\ at the end of the preceding line.

Download the source file with spectool -g mpg123.spec and compile for 32-bit Rawhide with fedpkg --release rawhide mockbuild --mock-config=/etc/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386.cfg.

cd to the subdirectory where the RPM's are, inside of results_mpg123/

sudo dnf reinstall mpg123-libs-1.31.1-2.fc38.i686.rpm

This is a Fedora issue, I would assume they didn't intend to change the libsndfile ABI and will revert back. If the ABI really needs to change, then the name versioning should update as well, e.g. libsndfile.so.2

[smcv]

I think it's the libmpg123 ABI that has broken, not the libsndfile ABI (libsndfile is the victim here); but yes this looks like a Fedora issue, which needs solving in Fedora by making the libraries consistent with each other again.

[smcv]

Debian compiles mpg123 with --enable-lfs-alias, which makes its 32-bit builds export symbols for both 32- and 64-bit off_t. For maximum binary-compatibility, Fedora (and other distributions that ship a 32-bit libmpg123) should probably do the same.
