In mageia 3 is very difficult to use the command-line urpm utils because it does not accept part of the names. It is needed to indicate the exact name and there is no way for finding it unles you use the gui At mageia 2: $ urpmq samba No package named samba The following packages contain samba: egroupware-sambaadmin, gadmin-samba, libsamba-hostconfig-devel, libsamba-hostconfig0, ... You should use "-a" to use all of them $ urpmq -a samba egroupware-sambaadmin gadmin-samba libsamba-hostconfig-devel libsamba-hostconfig0 libsamba-util-devel libsamba-util0 mmc-web-samba python-mmc-samba samba-client samba-common samba-doc samba-domainjoin-gui samba-server samba-swat samba-winbind samba4-client samba4-common samba4-devel samba4-pidl samba4-python samba4-server samba4-test At mageia 3: $ urpmq samba No package named samba $ urpmq -a samba No package named samba Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Source RPM: urpmi-7.25-1.mga3.src.rpm => urpmi-7.25-1.mga3
"urpmq --fuzzy", which will find partial matches, is no longer the default. As indicated in the changelog, the change was made in response to bug #2953 "* Tue Dec 4 2012 tv <tv> 7.13-1.mga3 + Revision: 326599 - library speedups when looking up packages: o do not attempt fuzzy matching if not requested - urpmq: o do not allow substring matching with --fuzzy (mga#2953)"
Short version for "urpmq --fuzzy" is "urpmq -y". As that's by design I'll close this bug.
