the software upgrade just have to mention the conflicting packages and stop until somebody enables a --force switch and in general DNF has to be much more verbose in case of dependency problems instead just saying "can't do anything because broken deps"in the past you saw *exactly* which package requires which so-version and so find out where the problem starts, which packages you may consider to remove and then try again

currently we have some sort of blackbox with no output how to solve dependency problems


I believe "dnf update --best"  is more verbose and tells you where conflict is coming from. This is not very discoverable; I can't remember how I arrived at trying --best,  but it probably should be the default, as you say.
