okay - then here are a couple of more situations I want to make sure are understood:
yum remove foo*
it should remove all packages starting with foo of EVERY arch or just of the primary arch in the biarch set?
yum update foo*
ditto of above? What should it default to act on
This is interesting. In my mind I've been thinking of globs as broken because they pull in everything. Then I start using them when I remove something and it works as I expect! Woohoo! Next time I use it to install something and it's still "broken"....
Now that we've had this discussion I realize this isn't broken but a design decision. But even though I now realize it is consistent, I still think it is unexpected.
Here's why: yum install vim* installs vim-common.x86_64 vim-enhanced.x86_64 vim-minimal.x86_64
yum install xfsprogs* installs xfsprogs.x86_64 xfsprogs.i386 xfsprogs-devel.x86_64 xfsprogs-devel.i386
Why should xfsprogs install i386 packages when vim doesn't?
