Hi [root@unclejimbo jdip]# rpm -q yum yum-2.1.12-1 FC3 I have been getting some funny results with yum today. I tried to list all packages starting with 'k' today (simple yum list k*) but I got no result. Now that is strange as I expected to at least see the kde packages. i have attached the output.

Hence yum is finding no available packages. If I run yum list kd*, yum works fine [root@unclejimbo jdip]# yum list kd* Yum Version: 2.1.12 COMMAND: yum list kd* Installroot: / Ext Commands: kd* Setting up Repo: KDE-3.X-testing Baseurl(s) for repo: [snip] Reading Local RPMDB Matching packages for package list to user args Matching packages for package list to user args Installed Packages kde-i18n-British.noarch 1:3.3.1-1 installed kdeaddons.i386 3.3.2-1.0.3.kde installed kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner.i386 3.3.2-1.0.3.kde installed kdeaddons-xmms.i386 3.3.2-1.0.3.kde installed kdeadmin.i386 7:3.3.2-1.0.3.kde installed [snip] kdewebdev-devel.i386 6:3.3.2-1.1.3.kde KDE-3.X-stable Can anyone else replicate this behavior?
