Anyone already tried yum search after the 5.2 upgrade?
yum search perl-MIME-tools

That *used* to tell if it's installed (and from where) and from which repositories which version is available. This information is all gone now. Also gone is the description. I can get the description from info and the installed status from list, but the repo information is completely gone now it seems. In this state yum search is pretty useless. Am I missing something? man yum and yum.conf don't list any options to get a more useful behavior.

Just type 'yum' without parameters, to get a list of possibilities. I think 'yum list' may be what you are looking for. (I don't have Fedora or CentOS on this laptop so I can't check.)
