I wonder how it is possible that 'mpv' is reported to be updated and at the same time reported as being skipped due to broken dependencies. What will be the result?

It is probably updatable:

~~~
$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 sudo dnf update -x kernel\* -x libtomcrypt -x python3-paste mpv

Comment 1 Pavla Kratochvilova 2020-01-29 12:27:58 UTC 
The package is incorrectly reported as skipped (both in the transaction table and in the post-transaction summary). The dependency problems reported before the transaction table are probably expected, since these should be problems in installing the best candidates before falling back to non-best ones.
