Doc Text: |
Previously, when used with the "--disablerepo='*'" option, or when available repos had no packages in them, the "yum install '*'" command produced a long warning that listed every package already on the system as being installed and not available. This warning was nonsensical and misleading because it implied that every package already on the system was available in a repository that yum could access. The code that produced this warning has been removed from yum. Now when "yum install '*'" is used under circumstances where no packages are available in any repository, yum does not produce this warning, but simply reports "Nothing to do".

New Contents: Previously, when used with the "--disablerepo='*'" option, or when available repos had no packages in them, the "yum install '*'" command produced a long warning that listed every package already on the system as being installed and not available. This warning was nonsensical and misleading because it implied that every package already on the system was available in a repository that yum could access. The code that produced this warning has been removed from yum. Now when "yum install '*'" is used under circumstances where no packages are available in any repository, yum does not produce this warning, but simply reports "Nothing to do".
