Has anyone run into this problem?
Last, I was able to successfully run this command on one of my
RHEL5 systems:
yum provides *lapack.so
Here is a transcript of that session:
# yum provides *lapack.so
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin

lapack-devel.i386 : LAPACK development libraries
Today, on the _same_ system, the command fails:
# yum provides *lapack.so
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
rhel-i386-client-suppleme 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00

Thinking that there might be some cruft in yum's cache, then tried this:
# yum clean all
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Cleaning up Everything
# yum provides *lapack.so
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin

I've tried these commands on several RHEL5 systems and it fails on all
of them. The systems are at 5.2:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.2 (Tikanga)
The problem occurs for a number of variations on the command:
yum provides *m.so
yum provides *blas.so
yum provides *gcc
Has something changed at RHN or in the yum repo? The yum packages on
these systems haven't been updated in a long time.
Thanks,
Carl
