May I ask why did you send such email instead of filing a bug report? If you 
read the dnf FAQ, cleaned the cache and everything, you can go right ahead. 
The dnf developers are very responsive in the bugzilla.

You have 90% of information for a bug report against dnf. However, before actually permitting yum to proceed with the installation, first you should change the dnf command:

dnf -y --debugsolver install amd

Then tar the resulting debugdata folder in the current directory, and include that as a bug attachment.

Thax Chris.
Bug submitted along with debugdata.
