I wanted to do urpmi gcc made a typo and did urpmi dcc. To my surprise,
urpmi silently installed
{pts/1}% sudo urpmi dcc
ÕÓÔÁÎÏ×ËÁ /mnt/hd/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/irssi-0.7.98.4-2mdk.i586.rpm
ðÏÄÇÏÔÏ×ËÁ...

because
{pts/2}% rpm -q --provides irssi | grep dcc
libfe_irc_dcc.so
libirc_dcc.so
That is dangerous IMHO. urpmi must ask user if selected packages were
result of fuzzy matching.
Additionally, sometimes I do want to use fuzzy matching but can't
because precise match exists (like "kernel"). Would --fuzzy flag for
urpmi be of some interest to others?
