[...] More guess-the-package follows. What you should be doing is "yum search xml-parser" (for example). The cut/paste the correct package name. The search facility is case insensitive because you're asking "find me something _like_ this". But "yum install"? No way. It should do exactly what is asked, and nothing else. Case insensitivity is the door to "guess at what I might have meant". Bad. For the system administrator: very bad. I don't see people aguing for making yum (and other commands) cope with misspelt things; case sensitivity is the same issue.
