Hello, thank you for the report. It seems that DNF doesn't work with wildcards in version specifications at all. The question is whether we have a good reason for that. Moreover if "dnf list" is apparently an exception. Bug 1019170 and bug 1083679 indicate that it should be work IIUIC. If so, we should fix it including the documentation.
I am on a Fedora 22 machine. I need to remove all debuginfo packages of Fedora 20. I runned command # dnf remove *debuginfo*.fc20.x86_64 But DNF said that no matching packages have been found. I also tried other variants like #dnf remove *\-debuginfo\-*.fc20.x86_64 # dnf remove '*debuginfo*.fc20.x86_64' # dnf remove '*debuginfo*'.fc20.x86_64 but the result is the same # rpm -qa | grep

I've hit this bug at least twice as well. I wanted to use globs for version/release and it didn't work. Unfortunately I don't fully remember my use cases. I think one of them was that I tried to remove a particular kernel (similar to comment 0). Since kernel packages are spit into several rpms and you want to remove all of them at once, it seems obvious to run something like `sudo dnf remove kernel*4.0.5*`. But it doesn't work at the moment. And I was quite confused by that fact, I spent some time figuring out what I was doing wrong.
We should document that in version could be a glob pattern and support globs in release part.
Another use case
[20:37] <rdieter_work> I suspect it doesn't work with the .x86_64 arch suffix I confirm with the following tests WORKING TEST # dnf remove kf5-*-devel NOT WORKING TEST # dnf remove kf5-*-devel-*.fc22.x86_64 # dnf remove kf5-*-devel.fc22.x86_64
Just to throw my bag of cents in here: I agree that the wildcard mechanism needs some work. A lot of the following tests I would expect to work don't, and oddly only the one at the end does indeed work.

Pysis, in most of the commands (9 of them) you have a typo - could you replace 'gnome-inital-setup' with 'gnome-initial-setup' (in all 9 of them) and then post the outputs again?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
The problem was solved in dnf-2.4.0-1 that was released into rawhide and Fedora 26.
This issue appears to have shown back up in dnf-2.6.3-1.fc26.noarch
I create patch that should solve the problem (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/314).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
The problem was fixed in dnf-2.7.5
