:-) Right. You used the version number. Well done. So "kernel" is maybe not the best example. But I imagine that you see my point. "urpmf --description kernel" will give you a description of all package which contain files with "kernel" in the pathname (unless I'm mistaken). Which means a lot. It is more obvious with the package "bc", since it doesnt have a version name in its package name.
