I am having trouble using wildcards ("*") with yum in Centos 5. Listing

to fix this.
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.
This will likely be a hit-or-miss shell expansion problem, as bash(or
whatever shell you're using) gets to the * before yum does.
Try something like the following:
yum list xorg-x11-font\*
or
yum list 'xorg-x11-font*'
with single ticks to prevent any unwanted shell foolishness.
