Strange wildcard listing with yum - problem with oracleasmlib rpm
Dude!Sep 5 2010 — edited Sep 6 2010Hello,
I installed OEL 5.5 in Virtualbox for the purpose of studying ASM. I figured that ASMLib was not in the public yum repo, downloaded it from OTN and installed the rpm package using the usual rpm -Uvh. Actually at some point yum did show oracleasmlib, but for Xen with a Xen kernel dependency. Anyway, I think yum is acting a bit strange; wildcard listing of the oracle packages does not work like it does for other packages. For instance:
# yum list oracle*
Loaded plugins: security
Error: No matching Packages to list
Should this not list all packages starting with oracle?
# yum list oracle-*
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
oracle-logos.noarch 4.9.17-6 installed
oracle-validated.x86_64 1.0.0-22.el5 installed
Ok, this works, but is this really all?
yum list oracleasmlib
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
oracleasmlib.x86_64 2.0.4-1.el5 installed
Ok, or?
# yum list ora*
Loaded plugins: security
Error: No matching Packages to list
Why does it not find anything?
# yum list mail*
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
mailcap.noarch 2.1.23-1.fc6 installed
mailx.x86_64 8.1.1-44.2.2 installed
Available Packages
mailman.x86_64 3:2.1.9-4.el5 el5_u5_base
That looks normal to me
Thanks,
Markus

Btw, EL5_oracle_addons in the yum repo file are enabled.
