(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
--skip-broken doesn’t change the output and when using --allowerasing I get
Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/lib/.build-id/b8/acf4f8271b78cd6dca636cb5b877c5c64f47f4 conflicts between attempted installs of haxe-4.2.5-5.fc38.x86_64 and nekovm-2.3.0-11.fc38.x86_64
Remove the conflicting packages before upgrading:
sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg
sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg-libs.i686
sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg-libs.x86_64
Handle other conflicting packages the same way.
If necessary, you can reinstall them after the upgrade.

[als@fedora ~]$ sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg
[sudo] password for als:
error: package ffmpeg is not installed
[als@fedora ~]$ sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg-libs.i686
error: package ffmpeg-libs.i686 is not installed
[als@fedora ~]$ sudo rpm --nodeps -e ffmpeg-libs.x86_64
error: package ffmpeg-libs.x86_64 is not installed
the plot thickens
Since the packages are no longer installed, has the error message changed?
Install the full ffmpeg-libs first:
sudo dnf install ffmpeg-libs --allowerasing
Now you will be able to upgrade.
The haxe package seemed to be blocking something in my case. Uninstalling it let me upgrade
