[Yum] yum upgrade <options>

[csieh]

Seth,

I really wanted to upgrade to the new KDE.  So I first said "yum update 
kde*".  That did not work because it wanted "kdesupport" which is now 
obsoleted by "something else".  So I tried "yum upgrade kde*" and it 
said there was nothing to do.  All I want to do is upgrade to the new 
kde,  but not to everything in the repository. I like to upgrade in 
steps vs the "all at once".  I looked at the code yesterday a bit and 
started to play with it but decided asking you about it is a better 
thing to do.  I guess I did not know why the "regular glob" was not 
allowed for the "yum upgrade" command.

Thanks
