Please check /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf. It should have: plugindir = /usr/lib64/lirc/plugins Config files under /etc/lirc/ are tagged as %config(noreplace) so if you have made some modifications in the past they will be kept on pkg update and new config files shipped with lirc are named with .rpmnew extension. So also check if there are .rpmnew files in /etc/lirc/.

x86_64 mga6's lirc_options.conf: plugindir = /usr/lib/lirc/plugins x86_64 mga7's lirc_options.conf: plugindir = /usr/lib64/lirc/plugins It looks like that plugindir was 'libified' in mga7 dev cycle.
Sorry guys, I indeed confirm, the file lirc_options.conf.rpmnew from Feb 16 2019 indeed has the new lib64 path.
