I am having trouble using wildcards ("*") with yum in Centos 5. Listing
or installing packages using them just immeidately fails with a "No match"
error, and I'm not sure why. Here is an example. Any comments? I'd love
to fix this.
[root@granta ~]# ps -e | grep yum
2706 ? 00:00:22 yum-updatesd
[root@granta ~]# yum list | grep kern
kernel.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 installed
kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 installed
kernel-headers.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 installed
kernel-doc.noarch 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 updates
kernel-xen.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 updates
kernel-xen-devel.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 updates
yum-kernel-module.noarch 1.0.3-1.el5.centos extras
[root@granta ~]# yum list kern*
yum: No match.
[root@granta ~]# yum list kernel
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 installed
[root@granta ~]#
Similarly, something like "yum install xorg-x11-font*" would fail with a
"No match" error, but the packages show up in a full list.
The machine is a fresh x86_64 install from DVD, yesterday. I previously
ran CentOS 4.4 on it with no problems.
