OK, this case is indeed a dpendecy problem and after 10 years working with Fedora it makes it much more clear that you MUST NOT talk about errors in case of soft-dependecies because even advanced sysadmins are not able most of the time to distinct what DNF is talking about
FRANKLY DNF don't give any useful informations even with "dnf -v" and saying "broken dependencies" woth the list of some packages is NOT HELPFUL
the output of yum-deprecated IS HELPFUL as yum always was - so can you please stop deisgn DNF for fools where you pretend they would not understand the output anyways and after that when also working with local packages works proper DNF *may become* a replacement for YUM - currently it is not

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The qt 5.6.2 update, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-ee7faa4b02 indeed has broken deps (missing kwin and plasma-integration), I'll be fixing it today. (sorry) until now not fixed - besides that everytime when DNF tells me deps are broken but not what is the reason i get terrible angry, the good old yum gone so far that it even mentioned conflicting sonames so that you can write useful bugreports i guess the excuse is that the ordinary user is overwheelmed with that informations he don't understand what is wrong for many reasons: * the ordinary user don't use CLI and DNF/YUM * he can't learn to understand because he don't get something useful guys guess how i learend about the way pakcages acting together and what relies on waht packages - mostly by the output of YUM - without that i would still be that ordinary user with no clue - happily i started with Fedora in times where it talked to his users instead burry anything (except systemd which fllods logs all the time and does the otehr direction in the wrong way) when i say "dnf -v" i MEAN "be verbose and talk to me" Please can you provide transaction output from "yum update --skip-broken" and 'dnf upgrade'. Please before comperison clean cache for dnf and for yum. Thanks a lot, any additional information will speedup redesign of dnf code. Thanks a lot. too late now - update was fixed but i will bookmark this bugreport and add a comment when it happens the next time in the meantime it shouldn't be too hard to build some intentional broken package and compare the non-helpful DNS output "Skipping packages with broken dependencies" versus what YUM said for years in case of dependency problems I've hit a different problem with the skipping packages with broken dependencies feature. I tried to install curl, libcurl and libcurl-devel and dnf replied with the following message: Last metadata expiration check: 2:01:31 ago on Tue Nov 29 01:03:07 2016. Package libcurl-7.50.3-1.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping. Package libcurl-devel-7.50.3-1.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

Complete! I didn't notice that dnf tried to tell me that the packages are already installed but I noticed that I should run dnf with '--best --allowerasing'. I went ahead and this time dnf replied with exactly the same message but it proceed with the installation. I call this utter confusing behavior. dnf should either print only the lines saying that the packages are already installed or install the updates. I create huge refactor of problems report https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/782.
