Comment 2 Mayank Jain 2006-09-27 12:18:44 UTC

Any operation -> search/list/remove/install fails if the expression given ni yum
command matches any file/dir in the current directory.

Comment 3 Mayank Jain 2006-09-27 12:19:27 UTC

s/ni/in

Comment 4 Seth Vidal 2006-09-27 12:48:15 UTC

the shell is expanding out the wildcard.

quote the option or escape the wildcard

yum search scim\*

yum search "scim*"

Comment 5 Mayank Jain 2006-09-27 12:49:53 UTC

Aah... ok, thanks for the clarification :)

Comment 6 Mayank Jain 2006-09-27 12:51:12 UTC

But then why is yum failing to remove scim*?

Comment 7 Seth Vidal 2006-09-27 12:53:16 UTC

b/c your command is expanding out to:

yum remove scim-abc


which doesn't exist.
