I've seen this wrong answer twice now, and also the correct answer that one does not need to provide a full path. If only the filename is given, all the packages that provide stddef.h in any location are found; if the full path, only packages that provide it exactly there are found. This is on FC6; some report that on F7 it is necessary to say '*stddef.h'.
No package "Provides: stddef.h". So if Yum on FC6 returns package names when running "yum whatprovides stddef.h", this can only mean that it adds '*' wildcards to match against all file paths that somehow are related to the string "stddef.h". That sounds weird. With F7 one certainly needs to use "*stddef.h" or else gets no results. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
