Cannot install VLC video player on Alma Linux due to error in libfluidsynth.so.2 library

Here is the error message I get

> wb_admin@wb-almalinux dnf]$ sudo dnf install vlc
> Last metadata expiration check: 16:04:02 ago on Mon 18 Jul 2022 11:18:38 PM CDT.
> Error:

>  Problem: conflicting requests
>   - nothing provides libfluidsynth.so.2()(64bit) needed by vlc-1:3.0.17.2-1.el8.x86_64
> (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Now I do have all the latest repo’s: (including rpm fusion, that’s a pre-req)


[wb_admin@wb-almalinux dnf]$ sudo dnf repolist --all | grep “enabled”
appstream AlmaLinux 9 - AppStream enabled
baseos AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS enabled
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise enabled
extras AlmaLinux 9 - Extras enabled
google-chrome google-chrome enabled
rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for EL 8 - Free - U enabled

Plus, everything is updated on the system:

> wb_admin@wb-almalinux dnf]$ sudo dnf update
> Last metadata expiration check: 16:19:16 ago on Mon 18 Jul 2022 11:18:38 PM CDT.
> Dependencies resolved.
> Nothing to do.
> Complete!

Can anyone suggest a fix? I'm running the latest version of Alma Linux, and everything else is working fine.

Not really a fix, but I was able to build mpv player, using (mostly) fedora 34 srpms. I have the details on my page at RHEL9 and clones (the packages are listed at the end)

Thank you scottro for your post; i will check it out.
