afair it was something like this, but i am not 100% sure.
# yum update udev*

this would be a problem with yum and not the shell.
no, it's not.
run yum -d 3 update [your globs]
and look what yum said it received as args.
sorry, i do not know what you mean.
afair it was the regular output for none matching package, even with -d0 :
eg.
"Could not find update match for udev*
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion"
while rhn-applet-tui was ok and told me that there was an "udev" update.
yum was later satisfied with "udev\*"
probably it was only a not uptodate mirror.
i will take more attention if this happens the next time.
