Created attachment 135917 [details] patch for the provide bug This patch should fix the issue.
Created attachment 135918 [details] Ups, there was missing something in the patch The cli.py should return some results, if something was found
Fixed in upstream yum CVS
I have tested the latest yum cvs head, it is working now :-)
