Upon reflection, I can't remember if I've done an rpm -i with wildcards,
but I've certainly done rpm -U with wild cards.  The only time that
fails, for me, is when you need to add dependencies.  And there's been
no need to end with rpm after the wildcard, unless you've got non-RPM
files in the same directory.  I've done things like the following
without any problems:

rpm -Uvh xorg*6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.1*

So that I can update the xorg packages from files already downloaded to
the /var/yum/cache/updates-released/packages directory, between
different computers on my network, where there's more than just the
latest version of a program in there.

rpm -U can install as well as upgrade.  If there's nothing already
installed, it does a new install.  The v and h options give you more
information about what it's doing as it does it.
