In such case you can be more specific and do exclude=grub-* grub2* and this will not match 'grubby'. yum is using "shell patterns" and not "regular expresssions". Besides nothing really stops you from doing yum --exclude='this*' --exclude='that' ..... picking up suitable patterns to fit your needs. AFAIK there is no option to explicitely "unexclude" some package. Michal -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
