More specifically, the command should be: # dnf update 'kd*' 'kf*' 'q*' 'per*' 'pyt*' 'u*' 'v*' 'x*' 'y*' 'z*' or you can backslash-escape each asterisk. On fish shell for example, commands like these will simply fail if you forget to escape wildcards that are not actually meant for the shell. > > -- > devel mailing list > devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org >
