With all due respect, there's way too much to read in there without clear
comments that explain your thoughts.

Sometimes, full output in a terminal can be self-explaining, but comments
on what exactly you've had in mind when running commends (involving --nodeps
and --force) could be very helpful.

Show it then. Show the output of some queries to list the available
updates for the packages you expect to be updated and the already installed
versions.

Instead, what you've shown is updating from local files.

Does dnf see anything at all from your rhsoft-fedora repo?

What have you done to examine "the problem" other than claiming that
createrepo has been run?

Do you try to say that it doesn't see your local repo? Or that it fails
to see some packages only? And yum deprecated works with exactly the same
setup and commands?
