Description Till Maas 2008-01-05 18:24:30 UTC

Description of problem:
When I run
yum -C whatprovides bas\?
and filelists.sqlite.bz2 are not cached, yum does not provide any results.
yum -C whatprovides bash
provides some results, though.

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

yum-3.2.8-2.fc7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum clean all
2. yum whatprovides bash
3. yum -C whatprovides bas?

Actual results:
Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of
//var/cache/yum/fedora/filelists.sqlite.bz2 from fedora

Expected results:
yum should report bash as a match and maybe warn that there may be other
matches, that could not be found because of missing data.

 This is just yum doing the right thing, IMO. However by 3.2.9 we should have a
feature which will help greatly with this problem.

What is this feature?

 The short version is that yum-updatesd will download the filelists so you'll
never get into the above situation.
