That'll pull dependencies from the user's configured repos, not from
local files.

What's needed is to create a local repository.

Are the packages you are trying to install from the original Fedora
distribution (in which case you'll be wanting to create your own version
of the [base] repository), or are they other packages you've acquired
from elsewhere (in which case you'll be wanting to set up a new
repository of your own)?
