The singular package is broken; it looks for shared libraries and singular
"libs" in the wrong place:

The shared library it's looking for actually exists, but it's in the
/usr/lib64/singular/MOD/ directory. The singular "libs" are also installed (in
/usr/share/singular/LIB/), but as can be seen above, singular doesn't seem to
find them there.

(By the way, the hoops one has to go through to report bugs here are really
over the top; why on earth aren't bugs readable without being logged in and why
does account creation for a friggin' bug tracker ask for things like one's job
title and postal address? Thanks goodness that the provided data isn't actually
verified...)
