Description Kamil Páral 2019-04-24 09:45:45 UTC

Description of problem:
DNF used to show the file it matched with a wildcard provides search. Now it doesn't, which makes it far less useful when there are multiple matches. Example:


$ sudo dnf provides '**/yum.py'

The 'Matched from' line seems to be unintentionally blank. Please show the actual file that matched the query, so that people don't need to package by package and look into them to figure out which file matched.

Thank you.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Marek Blaha 2019-04-30 06:10:40 UTC

PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1389 should fix the issue.
Meanwhile as a workaround, you can use '*/yum.py' pattern which works fine.

Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2019-04-30 11:05:37 UTC

Interesting. It used to be the case that '*' matched a single path segment (file/directory) and '**' matched multiple path segments. The behavior changed, it seems. Thanks for the workaround.
