[Yum] Yum Issue

[jonathan pickard]

Hi
[root at unclejimbo jdip]# rpm -q yum
yum-2.1.12-1
FC3

I have been getting some funny results with yum today. I tried to list 
all packages starting with 'k' today (simple yum list k*) but I got no 
result. Now that is strange as I expected to at least see the kde 
packages. i have attached the output.

[root at unclejimbo jdip]# yum list k*

[root at unclejimbo jdip]# ll knst98.pdf             <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-rw-rw-r--  1 jdip jdip 86198 Nov 21 21:54 knst98.pdf

What i did notice is that when i enter yum list k* the command that is 
passed to yum is as follows

Yum Version: 2.1.12
COMMAND: yum list knst98.pdf

I ran the yum command as root from my home directory - not that that 
matters but the file knst98.pdf does exist in my home directory and yum 
is changing k* to knst98.pdf. Hence yum is finding no available packages.

If I run yum list kd*, yum works fine

[root at unclejimbo jdip]# yum list kd*
Yum Version: 2.1.12
COMMAND: yum list kd*
Installroot: /
Ext Commands:
    kd*

Can anyone else replicate this behavior? If you can replicate this I 
will bugzilla it.

Thanks.
