You can exclude the conflicting packages to proceed the system -upgrade i.e.: "dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync -x rubygem-celluloid --allowerasing"
Does the "-x" work actually? Last time I tried, the package I excluded was not downloaded (as expected), but after restart, the "-x" was not used and my system-upgrade failed (this was unexpected). These flags should be propagated and honored after restart, during the upgrade phase.
Actually, you're correct, the -x/--exclude settings are not currently propagated to the upgrade. I filed an issue on github to track that:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugin-system-upgrade/ issues/29
I *can* add that to the State object that dnf system-upgrade uses to pass the --best/--allowerasing/etc. settings between the download and the upgrade, but I think the best long-term solution is for DNF to provide some .save()/.load() method(s) that will correctly save *all* the relevant configuration and transaction bits, rather than trying to figure all of this out on my own in an external plugin.
