Description Charles R. Anderson 2015-01-21 15:50:44 UTC 
Created attachment 982385 [details]
example dnf output

Description of problem:

I want to install all gstreamer x86_64 plugins, subpackages, etc, but I don't want the development packages.  I do this with yum and it works great:

sudo yum --exclude='*devel*' install gstreamer\*.x86_64

But the equivalent dnf command fails with dependency errors:

sudo dnf --exclude='*devel*' install gstreamer\*.x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.3-2.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum --exclude='*devel*' install gstreamer\*.x86_64
2. Type 'n' to not install the packages
3. Compare with "dnf --exclude='*devel*' install gstreamer\*.x86_64"
4. Try list: "dnf --exclude='*devel*' list gstreamer\*.x86_64"

Actual results:
dnf fails with a dependency error, while yum works fine.

Expected results:
dnf should install all packages that match the glob, except the ones that match the --exclude glob, and not fail with a dependency error.
