I am trying things like "yum provides alsamixer" on centox 5.2 i386 and x86_64
also "yum provides vi"
"yum provides gvimdiff"
"yum provides dumpiso"
"yum provides uname"

All of these return "no matches found"

is something broke???

These are just examples. I was trying to do "yum provides xf86Modes.h" it returns no matches also.

For files try

yum provides '*/vi'
etc...

I think this is new behavior for yum

I recently discovered this "feature" in a thread on fedora-list[1].

I did mention that maybe the yum manpage ought to be updated to inform the user, as I always wondered why it never worked for me until I saw the post. Although I knew that globs could be used with certain yum commands, I wasn't aware you needed to use them with this one.
