I'm running Fedora 37, and for the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that it skips some packages when I type sudo dnf upgrade saying there are conflicts between them. The packages are ffmpeg-libs from rpmfusion-free and ffmpeg-libs from rpmfusion-free-updates. Here's a recent output of sudo dnf update:

I'd like to upgrade to Fedora 38, but I guess there'd be problems due to the conflicts, and the resulting broken dependencies.
PS: I've tried removing libavcodec-free, but I couldn't because ffmpeg-free, gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect and others are dependent on it. Also, if I know right, libavcodec is an important video and audio encoding tool used by VLC and others.
