i am not sure if it was "yum" and/or "rpm"
in some versions "*" is ok and suddenly after an update you have to use
"\*" to get the expected resultat.
i do not know in which release/version this happened.
"\*" is/was always ok.
This has nothing to do with yum.
This is completely a function of your shell.
afair it was something like this, but i am not 100% sure.
# yum update udev*
-> no package, oops ?
# yum update udev\*
-> udev, ok !
# yum update ude*
-> udev, ok !
this would be a problem with yum and not the shell.
