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.
