Hi, please, see my comment in the bug. It turned out that librepo doesn't handle 'file:/path'-like (note the missing double slash) URLs. As a workaround, you can convert it to a 'file:///path'-like URL. If further discussion is needed, let's discuss it here: https://github.com/Tojaj/librepo/issues/55
