Are you running fedora 7, yet? If so could you tell me if you have a similar problem on yum there?
With yum-3.2.2-1.fc7 "yum whatprovides xalan" returns "No Matches found". With "yum whatprovides xalan\*" it seems to work fine, but it downloads all filelists.sqlite.bz2 files.
I'm looking in my release and there's nothing that actually does provide xalan. So I wouldn't expect yum whatprovides xalan to work. And the reason yum whatprovides xalan\* downloads all of the filelists is b/c it is looking in the files, too, b/c of the wildcard.
Hm, ok, seems that yum changed the behaviour regarding "whatprovides", because earlier versions applied some kind of wildcarding on the argument itself. But with yum not being stuck in an endless loop, this works for me.
