Description Jan Hutař 2012-03-09 12:17:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I'm running `yum list updates` into pipe, some long package names are not displayed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.22-39.el5


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum list updates
2. yum list updates | grep something
3. compare results (I do expect you have lot of packages with long name available as update)


Actual results:
# yum list updates
[...]
perl-IPC-ShareLite.i386                                      0.13-6.el5sat                redhat-rhn-satellite-5.4-server-i386-5
perl-MIME-Lite.noarch                                        3.01-6.el5                   redhat-rhn-satellite-5.4-server-i386-5

perl-NOCpulse-CLAC.noarch                                    1.9.8-1.el5sat               redhat-rhn-satellite-5.4-server-i386-5
[...]
# yum list updates | grep 'redhat-rhn-satellite-5.4-server-i386-5$'
[...]
                       0.13-6.el5sat      redhat-rhn-satellite-5.4-server-i386-5

Expected results:
Outputs should contain same info or package names should be trimmed, not removed IMO.

They are just being wrapped at 80 characters, not removed.

Use repoquery if you want pipe data.
