Right. According to the dnf man page SPECIFYING PROVIDES <provide-spec> in command descriptions means the command operates on packages providing the given spec. This can either be an explicit pro‐ vide, an implicit provide (i.e. name of the package) or a file provide. The selection is case-sensitive and globbing is supported. So, since it is "globbing" one could have used as an alternative dnf provides '*/Droid?Sans*' The ? matching any single character, including <space>. or dnf provides '*/Droid*Sans*' With * matching any character including none. At least those wouldn't have crashed. :-) -- If simple questions can be answered with a simple google query then why are there so many of them?
