Description of problem: I needed to know which packages provide: - sandbox; - seunshare In both cases "dnf resolve" failed, instead yum successfully returned the name of the package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.4.9-1.fc20.noarch Actual results: # dnf provides sandbox No Matches found # yum provides sandbox [...] policycoreutils-python-2.2.2-3.fc20.x86_64 : SELinux policy core python utilities Repo : fedora Corrispondenza trovata in: Nome file : /usr/bin/sandbox policycoreutils-python-2.2.4-5.fc20.x86_64 : SELinux policy core python utilities Repo : updates Corrispondenza trovata in: Nome file : /usr/bin/sandbox # dnf provides seunshare No Matches found # yum provides seunshare [...] policycoreutils-sandbox-2.2.2-3.fc20.x86_64 : SELinux sandbox utilities Repo : fedora Corrispondenza trovata in: Nome file : /usr/sbin/seunshare policycoreutils-sandbox-2.2.4-5.fc20.x86_64 : SELinux sandbox utilities Repo : updates Corrispondenza trovata in: Nome file : /usr/sbin/seunshare
this is mainly a documentation issue, the 'yum provides sandbox' etc. command only succeeds because of a hidden/undocumented feature in Yum.
The different behavior is documented in 0d39e95, will be published along with the release of dnf-0.4.11.
