That doesn't work. Tools like "rpm", "yum" don't try to
expand the '*',
and even if they did, the result would be different (e.g. "rpm" doesn't
look at repository metadata).
"yum localinstall …" on x86_64 gives weird reults:
--> Processing Dependency: xorg-x11-drv-* for package: test-1.0-1.x86_64
…
---> Package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome.i686 0:0.3.3-2.fc20 will be installed
…
[plus its i686 deps]
That's just one driver package, which the resolver chose out of several.
There are more for i686, which are not installed. And there are even more
x86_64 packages, which are not installed either.
yum install xorg-x11-drv-*
