Recently we've noticed that many users report DNF problems when package is
downloaded
but then cannot be found in downloaded location [1]. We've investigated
that the
root of the issue is inside `localPkg()`. From the doc string of the
function:
```
Package's location in the filesystem.
For packages in remote repo returns where the package will be/has
been downloaded.
```
patch [2] of localPkg() broke package
installation from repositories that contain xml:base tag. As this
function was not intended to return a remote url of package and also is
not part of our API we plan to revert your patch.
DNF uses this function internally and should really represent DOWNLOADED
location
on the filesystem.
Does koji use this DNF function directly? Of course we would like to keep
the koji
running properly but we would like to fix the DNF installing issue [1]
too. Let's
find the solution for both DNF and koji. Can you elaborate how do you use
DNF along
with `xml:base` tag. please?
