First, ADT update errors are frequently asked but I have tried to do everything mentioned in those other Question-threads but no success (with https and without, ADT23.zip download too).

This is what I got when trying to update:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
  Software being installed: Android DDMS 23.0.0.1245622 (com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.feature.feature.group 23.0.0.1245622)

  Only one of the following can be installed at once:

How can I solve this?

I was facing the same issue and resolved it by uninstalling the previous version of ADT completely and then installing the new version.

Try it out.
