[Yum-devel] Problem with yum list

[Kulbir Saini]

Hi all!

      The regular expressions don't work fine with 'yum list' with 
latest checkout of yum source. See the following outputs of yum-3.2.7 
and yum-3.2.12 on the same machine. yum-3.2.12 is git checkout from 
linux.duke.edu.

something wrong ?
