 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?

Comment (by msuchy):

I suppose there will be no more answer than the comment 1 from ausil.

So if you revert and together with your change make sure the use-case from
 bug 1245286#0 works.
