One thing to note with this:  if you have a file that matches */xxd (for example, if you have /home/mike/bin/xxd and the current directory is /home/mike) yum (or maybe its bash) will expand the wildcard.

So, assuming you are in /home/mike, and /home/mike/bin/xxd exists, then:
    yum whatprovides */xxd
is the same as:
    yum whatprovides /home/mike/bin/xxd

Yum will come back and say "No matches found."  

If you put quotes (single or double) around the '*/xxd', yum will really do a wildcard search.
