I am intregued by the "*/" in your yum command. Is that to make yum

Indeed. If yum see the / in the patter, it will consult the file list
metadata. Normally, yum tries to avoid using the file list metadata
because it is quite large compared to the other metadata.
Looks like it's definitely useful to know and I should now get the
results I require.
Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think I've ever seen this in yum's manpage
before. If not then why isn't it in a relevent(tips?) section?
Even though the yum manpages are good, I can't help but think manpages
as a whole on Linux are not as informative as they used to be;
especially newer commands and not to mention missing ones ... but that's
for a different thread :-#
