So, if I write

but, because yum is not a bash command, the * has to be escaped?
No. Neither are bash commands

Well, in my book, rm is a bash command. It might not be exclusive to the
bash shell, but it definitely is a bash command. Otherwise, maybe you
could tell us what a bash command is to you?

"rm" is a command in /bin.  It may be used in sh, ksh, csh, bash or
almost any shell you care to mention.  It is _not_ a bash built-in.

That being said, there _are_ bash builtins which have equivalents in the
standard paths ("test" comes to mind, one in bash and one in /usr/bin"),
but "rm" isn't one of them.

http://ss64.com/bash/

Try "man bash" first.  You'll see that "rm" isn't one of its commands.

'rm *' will remove all files in the
current directory, but 'rm \*' will only remove the one whose name is
'*'. See any intro to unix in general and shells in particular.

This much I know. What I didn't know what what would be the effect of
escaping * with yum.

I finally removed all the m17n paraphernalia with  a plain

yum erase m17n*

Thanks to all!
