"dnf update --best" provides some detail:

Error: nothing provides python2-PyPDF2 needed by python2-staplelib-0.3.3-8.fc23.noarch
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

I don't have python2-staplelib installed, and the package called out as missing, python2-PyPDF2 , does not seem to exist in my repos (the usual set of fedora, updates, and rpmfusion (free+nonfree and their updates)
Comment 2 Przemek Klosowski 2016-11-09 19:11:29 UTC 
dnf repoquery --requires pdf-stapler shows that it requires 
python-PyPDF2
python2-staplelib = 0.3.3-8.fc23

and in turn, python2-staplelib requires
python2-PyPDF2

which does not exist. 

I think it's an erroneous dependency in python2-staplelib; I tried to reassign this bugId to python2-staplelib
Comment 3 Ranjan Maitra 2016-11-10 05:02:53 UTC 
Try upgrading to Fedora 24. F23 is EOL on December 15.
