It may work in your case, but what if you have 2 repositories
specified that have the package: a and b.

"a" happened to be the one where the repository came from when you
installed it, but during the search "a" is down so yum finds it in "b"
and lists it as being installed from "b".

The more reliable way to do this is to store the repository that the
rpm came from in the rpm database or in a new yum database, but that
would require changes to other packages and should be discussed on
those lists.
