Description Marian Ganisin 2011-10-14 05:48:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

From the shell:

/tmp/empty $ LANG=en_US sudo yum localinstall *.rpm ; echo '$?='$?
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Local Package Process
Cannot open: *.rpm. Skipping.
Nothing to do
$?=0
/tmp/empty $

yum localinstall returns 0 code if there is 'Nothing to do'. However this is error state in my opinion, for example ls has exactly same opinion:

/tmp/empty $ LANG=en_US ls *.rpm ; echo '$?='$?
ls: cannot access *.rpm: No such file or directory
$?=2
/tmp/empty $

Expected result:
Non-zero return code for this use case
Comment 1 James Antill 2011-10-14 19:00:12 UTC 
Use: yum install *.rpm ... instead, and it'll do what you want.

Given that localinstall is deprecated, I don't see why we'd want to change this here.
