Description of problem: dnf install doesn't work for wildcards Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.4.6-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install '*/i7z' Actual results: Nothing to do Expected results: Install of i7z package Additional info: dnf provides '*/i7z' i7z-0.27.2-8.fc20.x86_64 ... yum install '*/i7z' ...install in progress This is handy speed-up if one know the name of the binary but not the name of the package (or can't remember) and is pretty sure there will be only one match (if not he/she can still cancel the installation).
Hm, this could be either a bug in the subject parsing or something we don't do for perfomance reasons (the filename lookup is expensive, esp. if it contains globbing). We'll look into that.
IMO this is not a bug. Why are you using quotes when you WANT wildcards to be expanded, anyway?
