It's not trivial to do right now, because you actually need to
download all the packages to see the issue. (Though file names are
available in the metadata files, e.g. dnf install /some/path works,
so I guess it could be done without downloading packages theoretically.)

Yeah, but is is worth the effort? I could open a bunch of bugs, but
I don't want to do this if nobody wants to look at them anyway.
