I want the wildcard to be expanded, but the expansion only works if I leave the dash out. For example, there are 6 packages starting with "texlive-japanese". If I type zypper rm texlive-japanese* I get Package 'texlive-japanese*' not found. If I type zypper rm texlive?japanese* all 6 packages and additional 4 dependencies are found and removed. So, there is definitely a non-standard dash symbol being used in the package names of texlive. Calling BUGZILLA! On 6/4/13, Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> wrote:

In openSUSE 12.3, if I issue the commands zypper install google-a* zypper install google-* zypper install google* then all Google fonts starting with letter "a" or all Google fonts are installed, as expected.
However, if I want to do the same with texlive: zypper install texlive-a* zypper install texlive-* zypper install texlive* Only the last version works as expected.
The first version says "Package 'texlive-a*' not found", even though there are possibly more than 100 packages starting with "texlive-a", and the second version just installs the one package texlive-2012.20120611-3.3.1.i586.
It almost looks like there is something wrong with the dash character in the name of the texlive-* packages.
Guess ... the shell tries to expand the wildcard. You may escape or quote to avoid this.
