Hi,

Looks like the Audacious audio player from EPEL (which has worked fine
in previous versions) is broken under CentOS 7.6. It refuses to start,
and when I try to start it from the command line, here's what I get.

[microlinux at bernadette:~] $ rpm -qa | grep audacious
audacious-3.9-1.el7.x86_64
audacious-libs-3.9-1.el7.x86_64
audacious-plugins-3.9-1.el7.x86_64
[microlinux at bernadette:~] $ audacious

(Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?)
Abandon

Any idea what's wrong here ?

Cheers,
