RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
According to manual page, mentioned command should:

> EXAMPLES

> 
>             yum verify --verify-filenames=’*bin/*’

but it does not.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.27-9.el6.noarch
yum-plugin-verify-1.1.26-9.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always (tested on 1 RHEL6 i386 system)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rpm -qf /bin/tracepath6

2. # rpm -V iputils
3. # mv /bin/tracepath6{,.BACKUP}
4. # rpm -V iputils
   missing     /bin/tracepath6
5. # yum verify --verify-filenames=’*bin/*’
   Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, presto, protect-packages, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, tmprepo,
                 : verify, versionlock
   This system is not registered with RHN.
   RHN support will be disabled.
   verify done
6. # echo $?
   0


Actual results:

# yum verify iputils
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, presto, protect-packages, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, tmprepo,
              : verify, versionlock

Comment 3 seth vidal 2010-06-17 18:24:48 UTC
I can't seem to make this happen in the upstream version of yum/yum-verify

on F13.

Comment 4 James Antill 2010-06-17 19:20:39 UTC
Dito. however I will note that the quotes in your example:

    yum verify --verify-filenames=’*bin/*’

are: ’ == 0xe2 0x80 0x99

not: ' == 0x27

...which would explain it, if that's what you typed.
