Hi,
    I have enabled the Fedora source repository so that I can install the symlinks source.l     Having enabled the source repository I issued the command "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src" (the binary package tells me the source is symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src.rpm) and got the following messages:

sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src

Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Argument 'symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src' matches only source packages.

    So I then issued the command "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src.rpm" and dnf tells me that rpm doesn't exist.     Then issue the command "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src*" gives me the following messages:

sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src*

Package Arch Version Repository               Size
Installing:
symlinks  src            1.7-11.fc41                                                    fedora-source                        15.2 KiB

Transaction Summary:
Installing:         1 package

Total size of inbound packages is 26 KiB. Need to download 26 KiB.
After this operation, 15 KiB extra will be used (install 15 KiB, remove 0 B).
Is this ok [y/N]: n

    Is DNF actually working properly when with * in the package name the install is actually installing what I asked it to install in the first command?

regards,
Steve
