Description Mike FABIAN 2015-11-17 12:15:50 UTC
The behaviour of * wildcards in "dnf install ..." is a bit weird:

Trying to install "ibus-table-*" does not install the packages whose
names start with ibus-table-chinese for example (and not the packages
starting with ibus-table-latin etc. either):

    [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ sudo dnf install ibus-table-*
    Last metadata expiration check performed 0:50:13 ago on Sun Oct 25 17:33:06 2015.
    Package ibus-table-devel-1.9.9-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, skipping.
    Package ibus-table-1.9.9-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, skipping.
    Dependencies resolved.
    Nothing to do.
    Complete!
    [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$

But installing "ibus-table-chinese-*" works:

    [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ sudo dnf install ibus-table-chinese-*

This seems a bit inconsistent.

Comment 1 LiuYan 2015-11-22 14:33:58 UTC
Similar issue when I try remove old kernel packages.

Example:

1. All kernel packages I have now:
# ll /boot/vm*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5978744 10月  8 16:37 /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-d33600b7949145348b6429e93dee0856
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5964056 10月  5 22:32 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.10-200.fc22.x86_64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5961928 11月 10 21:19 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.13-100.fc21.x86_64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5980440 11月 21 06:35 /boot/vmlinuz-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64


2.
Try to remove 4.1.10-200.fc22 packages

2.1. "*-4.1.10-*" wildcard pattern, NO packages matched
# LANG=en_US.UTF-8 dnf remove *-4.1.10-*
No match for argument: *-4.1.10-*
Error: No packages marked for removal.


2.2. "*-4.1.10-200*" wildcard pattern, NO packages matched
# LANG=en_US.UTF-8 dnf remove *-4.1.10-200*
No match for argument: *-4.1.10-200*
Error: No packages marked for removal.


2.3 "*-4.1.10-200.fc22" wildcard pattern, MATCHED!

Comment 2 Mike FABIAN 2016-03-16 07:44:34 UTC
The problem still exists in rawhide as of today.

Comment 3 Mike FABIAN 2016-03-16 11:23:14 UTC
(In reply to Mike FABIAN from comment #2)
> The problem still exists in rawhide as of today.

No, I  must have tested this wrong, I cannot reproduce it anymore.
So it seems to work in rawhide!

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-07-08 09:35:25 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:31:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Michael Mráka 2016-11-25 10:18:19 UTC
Confirm it works in rawhide:
