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?
