A couple of Yum issues: Wildcards and Dependencies

[n0dalus]

Hi,

I've recently updated yum, and now it doesn't seem to be working with wildcards:

[root at fedora5 ~]# yum update '*rpm*'
Loading "installonlyn" Plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
extras-dev: ######################## 2/2
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Examining pam-0.80-14.i386.rpm: pam - 0.80-14.i386
Examining pam-devel-0.80-14.i386.rpm: pam-devel - 0.80-14.i386
pam-0.80-14.i386.rpm: does not update installed package.
pam-devel-0.8-14.i386.rpm: does not update installed package.
No Packages makred for Update/Obsoletion

Why is it globbing files when I am using quotes?

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.

Any comments are appreciated.
