Just as a "nice" type notification to users, would it be possible to be a bit more descriptive in some of the 'Nothing to do' yum messages? I've seen a fair amount of my users (admittedly some of the new to linux crowd) who attempt to try to install packages they already have on their systems. Yum replies to this with a simple 'Nothing to do'. The same message it gives if there's no package matching that name in the repository. Situation 1: User runs 'yum install foo' and already has the current version of foo installed. Instead of getting "Nothing to do", yum would return "Package is already installed" Situation 2: User tries 'yum install apache' instead of 'httpd'. Instead of "Nothing to do", user gets "No package exists by that name" or some other helpful lart. Comments? Feasibility? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
