(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Docker is working on a solution, but it's not merged yet:

• docker/containerd-packaging#231
• docker/containerd-packaging#246

Temporary workaround: sudo dnf -y module disable container-tools
