rpm apparently won't accept wildcards for an install
I don't ever recall having such a problem.
I believe you and my initial thoughts were that I was doing something
stupid, but I can't see what's wrong with:
rpm -i openoffice.org-*
from within the directory holding the packages and having 'su'd to root
first.
Try:
rpm -qa "openoffice.org-*"
or:
rpm -qa openoffice.org-\*
If you don't quote the asterisk, bash will attempt to expand it.
Querying works fine, it's the installation that bombs. I've had a
thought that the wildcarded filename should be terminated with ".rpm"
and next time I boot FC I'll check that.
Thanks for all your help.
