Hi,
I've recently updated yum, and now it doesn't seem to be working with wildcards:
[root@fedora5 ~]# yum update '*rpm*'

you didn't cut and paste this, did you?
Why is it globbing files when I am using quotes?
ask your shell. do echo '*rpm*' and see what it outputs.
The other issue I had is that when I ran:
# yum install pirut
It complained that firstboot needed system-config-packages (since
pirut obsoletes system-config-packages), despite the fact that a
firstboot update was available and it could have updated it and
resolved the dependency. I don't have the command output here, but I
was wondering what might have caused this.
would need the command output to know more.
